What To Expect
Le Marais
Start by understanding the historic importance of the Marais, which once laid beyond the center of Paris. Today, it is at the heart of the city. Discover the Church of Saint Paul and Saint Louis before walking through the courtyard of the majestic Hotel de Sully. Continue experiencing the royal history of the Marais by exploring the pristine Place des Vosges, a public square with unparalleled beauty in Paris. Afterwards, move forward in time to learn all about the bustling Jewish community that put the Marais on the map through the 18th and 19th centuries. Wander the bakeries and boutiques of the Pletzl before strolling the shop-laden rue des Francs Bourgeois. All the while you’ll discover mansion after mansion, former homes to the nobility that once called the Marais home. Some are now museums, like the highly worthwhile Musée Carnavalet. The tour may also introduce you to both the Hotel de Ville, or City Hall, and the Pompidou Center, both architectural masterpieces from very different periods.
Eglise Saint-Paul Saint-Louis
We will start our tour by visiting the 17th century St-Paul-St-Louis church, which was built by the Jesuits after a design inspired by that of the Gesù church in Rome.

5.00This tour provides historical insight into a very old and interesting neighborhood. Although I have walked through the Marais many times in the past, the tourguide provided much more information than I had learned on my own.
Good guide, good tour at Marais.

5.00Hugo Kennedy, our guide, was fun and knowledgeable. He explained the history of Marais, takes you to stopping points and explains. Beyond the knowledge, he has a personality and a sense of humor. Also, the nice touch, is that he sends you a text the morning of the tour, and he’s there 15 minutes early. We had other guides who ask you to be there 15 minutes early and then they arrive 2 minutes early. Nice guy.
