On this 2.5 hour Exclusive Private Tour, you’ll learn the secrets behind this must-see area that captures the hearts of Parisians and travellers alike. Dotted with royal mansions and former royal residences, the Marais is also the historical home of Paris’s bustling Jewish population.

Your guide will lead you through the tiny medieval streets and courtyards of this iconic area that once laid beyond the city centre. At the Church of Saint Paul and Saint Louis, you’ll begin to understand the opulence that marked the district during the Renaissance. Move through the courtyard of the regal Hotel de Sully, one of many residences you’ll discover on this tour. Some are open to the public, including the Musée Carnavalet. In the nearby Place des Vosges, a public square with unparalleled beauty in Paris, you’ll learn about the kings and queens who once called this district home. Travelling forward in time, your guide will introduce you to the Jewish community that put the Marais on the map through the 18th and 19th centuries. Try and resist the smells of pastries wafting through the air while passing the bakeries of the Pletzl on your way to the shops of the rue des Francs Bourgeois. The tour may end at the Hotel de Ville or the Pompidou Centre, both architectural masterpieces from very different periods that are must-see experiences in the Marais.

We’re more than just storytellers. Our young, passionate, and engaging guides approach touring in a different way. They will bring a personal touch to each tour, adding their own favourite anecdotes and tips along the way. They are there to listen to you, to answer your questions, and to create a dialogue – unlike other tours where they just lecture you as you go along. That’s the whole reason why we specialise in private and semi-private tours exclusively, to make sure you get the most possible out of your experience.
