Stop atCarreau 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.
20 minutes (approx.)・No admission tickets required
Stop atMarche 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.

Stop atLa Rue des Rosiers

A Royal square dating back to 1612. Truly the landmark of Le Marais. Victor Hugo used to live on that square. We'll see why it's iconic and how beautiful it is.

Nice relaxing enjoyable tour! Loved it!

Loved our walk around the Marais with Emily in Paris! Very nice guide, lots of history and sights to see that we would never have found otherwise. Great to take an in depth look at a neighborhood instead of running around all over the city. Had a private tour and went at our own pace. Very enjoyable.
Great Marais Walking Tour!

Our tour was guided by Andrea
He isn't just a tour guide, he is passionate about Paris architecture and street art. He thoughtfully explained the history of the community's art, pointing out lessor seen works of art. He led us through quiet "private" gardens. Our tour was 2.5 hours at Andrea's request. He wanted to make sure we saw everything! Overall great tour.
Great way to see the old Paris & all its beauty

My daughter (teen) and I absolutely loved our walking tour with Clara!! What a fun way to see and enjoy a part of the city that is somehow often overlooked on your typical Parisian itinerary. This neighborhood is magically beautiful and full of history both hidden and still standing. Clara told us about kings, crusaders, builders, and merchant mayors and it never felt like a lesson but we learned SO MUCH. Thank you for a great walk and we will recommend all our friends!!
