If you want to explore the trendiest area of Paris, home to aristocratic mansions, art galleries, perfumeries, Jewish quarter, fashion boutiques and great gastronomy, my historical and gastronomic walk along the streets of Marais is for you! During this walk you won't only taste to the most delicious pastries and macarons, you will also discover what Marais is hiding. You will see the opulent mansions, parks and squares and hear about the rise and fall of the Knights Templar, the amazing adventures of Marie Antoinette's necklace and the extraordinary entertainment of the royal court. I will guide you along the paths unknown to tourists and tell you about the history of the quarter and its modern life. Weaving through labyrinths of picturesque streets and penetrating behind the scenes of the front facades of mansions, we will revive the events that forever changed the course of French history!
We'll start at the Metro Temple to understand the mysterious history of the Knights Templar settled in Marais in the Middle Ages. We'll walk narrow paved streets, enjoy renowned chocolate and macarons and talk about French food. We'll visit a secret French Market and taste some cheese and wine (Upon request). All the while you'll discover mansion after mansion, former homes to the nobility that once called the Marais home! We'll move forward in time to learn all about the bustling Jewish community. Wander the bakeries and boutiques of the Pletzl before strolling the shop-laden rue des Francs Bourgeois. Then, we'll continue experiencing the royal history of the Marais by exploring the magnificent Place des Vosges, a public square with unparalleled beauty in Paris. We'll walk through a hidden courtyard of the majestic Hotel de Sully and discover the Church of Saint Paul and Saint Louis.
