Item Description
The Marais district in Paris is home to the true aristocratic spirit of the city. With beautiful antiquated structures that date back to pre-revolutionary times, this area has a riveting history that has transformed and defined Paris over centuries.
Put on your walking shoes, awaken your inner history buff and take a tour of the Marais like never before with Et Voilà Paris’ Marie Ange. A professional guide with over 20 years of experience, Marie’s reputation is so well established that she has been the chosen tour guide for A-list celebrities like Eva Mendez, Seth Green and Michael Keaton! With a delightful sense of humor, an un-paralleled passion and intimate knowledge of the district, Marie will share the hidden jewels of this magnificent area that few, if any, guides can offer.
Allow her to take you to the Place des Vosges, arguably the most beautiful square in the world. Once home to Victor Hugo while he wrote Les Miserables, it is now home to a plethora of high-end art galleries, antique stores and quintessential Parisian cafes. See history unfold in its beautiful townhouses from the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries that sit along the narrow streets. Visit the majestic Hôtel De Sully, the Hôtel Carnavalet and the Hôtel de Soubise that houses the French National Archives. The Marais is also home to the Jewish quarter, a lively area with synagogues, delicious bakeries and kosher restaurants. Blessed with wonderful shopping, your tour guide will also ensure you have time to enjoy the beautiful shops on the popular Rue des Francs Bourgeois!
In the hands of Marie, prepare for an unforgettable day in the Marais that will certainly merit a place in history, in your own book!
