What To Expect
Carreau du Temple
This building was a second-hand clothing market from 1863. It kind of embodies the history of Le Marais, as it went from a poor neighborhood to a trendy one. Now it's used as an exhibition hall.
Marche Couvert des Enfants Rouges
This is the oldest food market in Paris. It's included in so many food tours, documentaries, and books. Parisians love to come here on weekends, we'll see together why.

5.00If you want a thorough, easily paced, in-depth historical perspective of Le Marais, then this is the tour for you. We had done a walking food tour of Le Marais two days before that was really disappointing, so we returned for a far more enjoyable experience. Clara was great...exceedingly knowledgable, pleasant, an easy conversationalist. We learned so much. Loved it!
We had a lovely time...

5.00We had a private tour, since there were only 2 of us, with Claire. The walk thru le Marais neighborhoods was charming and very informative, at a leasure pace. Along the way we have discovered the area for our next stay in Paris. Claire had a nice, easy going personality and made us feel very comfortable. Thank you for a perfect day in Paris!
