If you're looking for a different side of Paris than the one shown on postcards, this free tour of the Marais neighbourhood is the ideal option. Guided by Parisians who are passionate about their city, this tour takes you away from the typical tourist spots to show you a more intimate, elegant and local side of the French capital.

The itinerary combines history and modern life. Walking along cobbled streets, you'll discover old hôtels particuliers (aristocratic houses), contemporary art galleries, emerging designer shops and Parisians' favourite spots to drink, flirt and enjoy the city.

One of the highlights is an immersion into the Jewish culture of the Marais, with its emblematic "pletzl", full of history, flavours and traditions. Depending on the group's interests, the tour can be adapted to focus on topics such as architecture, fashion or cultural history.

The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly, with an average of 10 to 15 people per group (maximum 22). On hot days, the guide carries fans for everyone and takes frequent breaks at water fountains and shaded areas. Everything is designed so that you can enjoy yourself to the maximum, without rushing and without stress.
