Paris through the eyes of a Parisian

Program

The Marais district is one of the few remaining unmodernized areas of Paris. The abundance of historic mansions of the Parisian nobility here is truly breathtaking. Marais consists of thousands of winding, tangled streets where Parisian taxi drivers reluctantly venture. It is one of the few districts whose shops are open even on Sundays, with a selection of brands representing the quintessence of French style. In Marais, Parisians go for designer items, romantic walks in one of its squares, for inspiration, and a breath of free Parisian air.

I invite you to explore the delights of Marais. To visit the Jewish part of the district and admire the Parisian synagogue in modern style. In this part of Marais, you can enjoy the city's best falafel and authentic Jewish pastries. Nearby is the area of sexual minorities with bakeries that bake brioches shaped like ... genitals! And in the vicinity of the Picasso Museum, hidden from prying eyes, there is a square where Charles Aznavour planted a rose in honor of a girl named Anna. Here you will find the creamiest ice cream in Paris, incomparable creperies, and the magical, indescribable atmosphere of the district.

During the tour, you will discover:

• the most colorful indoor market in the city, built back in the early 17th century;
• a medieval castle-mansion, where the amorous Queen Margot indulged in pleasures;
• fashionable cafes and restaurants, where you can easily spot Marion Cotillard and Lea Seydoux;
• vintage boutiques and designer stores that are especially popular among the local golden youth;
• a cafe with a 20 cm tall lemon tartlet that exceeds all expectations;
• ruins of a medieval fortress built by Philip Augustus in the 12th century to protect Paris;
• golden waffles from the Liege King with a vanilla layer from Madagascar;
• and much more!

Indulge in the endless charm of the Marais district!
