About this experience
I invite you to my author's excursion through the unique Marais Quarter. During the French Renaissance era, this is where key events of the religious wars took place. In this area, miraculously preserved are medieval houses and the finest mansions of French nobility from the 16th century. Together, we will try to understand if the time of the French Renaissance was as magnificent as it is believed.
