Tour Marais, one of the most sophisticated neighborhoods
in Paris, has an intriguing history, from swampland
to royal playground. The area fell into disrepair
after the French Revolution, and lay dormant
until its revival as a hub for arts and culture
in the 1960s.
Today, the Marais is a great place to see well-preserved
architecture from Medieval and Renaissance
times, as well as its flamboyant private residences,
known as hôtels. But beyond its historical
character, here you’ll also find the latest
trends in art and fashion. Your tour will also
include a visit to the Centre Pompidou, whose
ultra-modern style is both loved and hated
by Parisians, much like the Eiffel Tower was
in its day.
Your private guided tour of Marais will include such sites
as Church St. Paul, Place des Vosges (Victor
Hugo’s home, Hotel de Sully), Hotel Salé (Picasso
Museum), Hotel Carnavalet (Museum of Parisian
history), Hotel de Soubise (French Archives),
and much more. You will also saunter down Rue
des Rosiers, which is one of the most well-known
streets in the Marais district.
