• Le Marais - Begin by appreciating the historical significance of the Marais, which was once outside the central area of Paris but is now at its core. Visit the Church of Saint Paul and Saint Louis, then explore the courtyard of the grand Hotel de Sully. Continue to delve into the royal history of the Marais by visiting the immaculate Place des Vosges, a public square renowned for its beauty in Paris. Then, journey through time to learn about the vibrant Jewish community that made the Marais famous during the 18th and 19th centuries. Explore the bakeries and shops of the Pletzl before wandering down the shop-filled rue des Francs Bourgeois. Along the way, you’ll encounter mansion after mansion, former residences of the nobility who once lived in the Marais. Some of these are now museums, such as the highly recommended Musée Carnavalet. The tour may also introduce you to both the Hotel de Ville, or City Hall, and the Pompidou Center, both architectural marvels from different eras.
• Eglise Saint-Paul Saint-Louis - The tour begins with a visit to the 17th-century St-Paul-St-Louis church, constructed by the Jesuits with a design inspired by the Gesù church in Rome.
• Jardin de l’Hotel de Sully - Next, pass by the Hotel de Sully, a building erected between 1624 and 1630. Designed by architects Jean 1er Androuet du Cerceau and Yves Boiret in the Renaissance style with Baroque elements, the hotel’s construction is part of a larger trend of monumental building in this area of Paris.
• Place des Vosges - Then, proceed to Place des Vosges, the oldest planned square in Paris. A walk in the Marais without admiring Place des Vosges is like strolling the Champs Elysees without seeing the Arc de Triomphe!
• Rue des Francs Bourgeois - Continue along Rue des Francs Bourgeois, one of the longer and more intriguing streets in the Marais district, known for its trendy fashion boutiques.
• Musee Carnavalet - Histoire de Paris - Next, visit the Hôtel Carnavalet, a rare example of Renaissance architecture in Paris, alongside the Louvre’s square courtyard. Discover the Musée Carnavalet, a museum that showcases Paris’ history and reveals the city’s diverse character.
• La Rue des Rosiers - Then, walk along Rue des Rosières, a quaint street at the heart of the Jewish quarter.
• Jardin des Rosiers - Joseph-Migneret - Next, see the Jardin des Rosiers, a small garden nestled between hotels and hidden behind boutiques. This secluded spot is named in honor of Joseph Migneret, a school principal who saved many students by hiding them in his home during WW2, and who was eventually arrested and killed.
• Centre Pompidou - Nearing the end of the tour, head to the Centre Pompidou, the renowned contemporary museum famous for its high-tech architectural exterior. This multicultural complex was designed to unite various forms of art and literature in one location, inspired by ideas from France’s first Minister of Cultural Affairs.
• Hotel de Ville - Conclude the tour at Hôtel de Ville, the building that houses the city’s local administration. It has served as the headquarters of the municipality of Paris since 1357.
• Eglise Saint-Gervais Saint-Protais - Adjacent to Hôtel de Ville, catch a glimpse of the Église Saint-Gervais Saint-Protais, the first example of French baroque style in Paris. It served as a parish church until 1975 and is now the headquarters of the Monastic Fraternities of Jerusalem.
