Bonjour! My name is Julien. I'm a Parisian (or maybe I should say a suburban Parisian but don't...

The Marais is one of the oldest and most charming district of the city. It's quite different from the rest of the city that was partially rebuilt in the 19th century under Napoleon the 3rd. Here you'll marvel in front of the place des Vosges (one of the the most beautiful squares in Paris). Equally beautiful and old is the architecture of the Saint Paul Saint Louis church and that of the mansions built by the nobility who used to live here in the 16th, 17th and 18th century. But the Marais also houses the largest Jewish community in Paris with its traditional bakeries, shops. After a period of decadence, the Marais has been beautifully restored from the 1960s onwards and is now one of the trendiest place to live in with its huge variety of places for foodies (from bakeries to shops for chocolates, cheeses, wines).
We'll meet at the Bastille square, the original location of the fortress that was stormed on the 14th of July 1789. On Thursday, there's a colorful and bustling outdoor market that I really like to show people to introduce them with French cheese and other specialities. If you decide to take the tour another weekday we can stop at a cheese, chocolate shop or bakery for you to try amazing local food since the Marais has a lot to offer for foodies. From the Bastille square, place des Vosges, the oldest royal square in Paris is only few min walk. We'll evoke some of the famous people who lived there, like Victor Hugo. We'll see more beautiful architecture with an old mansion from the 17th c and a baroque church that housed the hearts of Louis the 13th and 14th. But you can't visit the Marais without experiencing the Jewish district with its quaint narrow streets, its synagogue and maybe try a falafel. I'll be more than happy to customize the tour if you have a special request
