This is a distinct chance to delve into one of Paris’s most significant, complex, historically rich and trend-setting districts in the recent years - Marais. Our tour encompasses various phases of Marais’s evolution, making no omissions. During this journey, you will gain insights about the Jewish community and the Knights Templar, explore the era when Marais was a sought-after locale for lavish yet conservative aristocratic residences, delve into its decline as it became an unsafe, working-class quarter, and learn about its beautification, refinement, and its eventual resurgence to fame. To ensure a complete narrative, you will also discover why it is one of the Parisians’ favourite parts of the city, not just a popular tourist attraction.
