What you’ll do

See the playground for Paris's most trendy – the crooked, cobbled, historical lanes that are alive with bars, restaurants, vintage shops, and jewelry boutiques. But there's more to Le Marais than gorgeous "I-woke-up-like-this" locals queuing for pita at L'As du Fallafel.

With your host to lead the way, you'll explore its thriving art scene at upmarket galleries, amble through Musée Picasso, and visit iconic sites like Rue de Montmorency, where Nicolas Flamel's house – the oldest in Paris – stands.

Stumble across the district's hidden secrets, like the utterly picturesque Passage de l'Ancre, where a quaint boutique sells umbrellas and walking sticks, and relax with a coffee or a glass of wine at a classic bistro. Très chic.

    I’ve visited Paris many times but wanted to see some of the lesser known but interesting places Pascal was so knowledgeable and showed me some great hidden gems of Paris - especially the arcades I had a wonderful afternoon and learned so much - even the installation of tiles almost hidden in the streets by the artist known as Invader! Fascinating! Merci, Pascal!

    Marie was a great guide for the Marais district. She could have improved a bit on linking the sites together in a story but overall she was fantastic! She showed us great out of the way sites that we would not have found by ourselves.
