A stroll through Parisian's favorite neighborhood

It spans the right bank of the River Seine and is known for its preserved medieval architecture, narrow streets, and lively atmosphere. This experience takes you on a guided tour of this historic part of Paris, Le Marais. Escaping the sweeping renovations that transformed 19th-century Paris, Le Marais clings to its unique character with narrow streets, peaceful courtyards, and medieval and Renaissance mansions.
