When in Paris, you have to enjoy the city like a local. One of the best ways to experience the local life is this walking tour to the local neighborhood of Le Marais.

Start off your experience by listening to the historical importance of this Parisian area from an expert guide. You’ll get to admire the beauty of medieval mansions and churches as you wander through the cobbled alleys of this stylish district. As you continue your stroll, you’ll pass through the Church of Saint Paul-Saint Louis – a beautiful example of 16th-century architecture. Pay a visit to the famous Pompidou Center known for its ‘inside-out’ architecture and hear how Parisians once hated it but have now embraced this landmark. You’ll also visit the nearby Stravinsky Fountain – a treat to the eyes and a spot to take lovely pictures.

You’ll head to the Place des the Vosges – once home to novelist Victor Hugo – and spend some time transported back in history. From there, walk through the beautiful 12th-century Rue des Rosiers or ‘Street of Rose Bushes’. You might even get a feeling of being in a film or novel! Spend some time taking in the picturesque surroundings. The tour comes to an end when you reach Village Saint-Paul known for its art galleries, museum, and art culture.
