Take a 2-hour walking tour in Paris with a private guide to gain insight into the history and culture of the Marais district, a trendy neighborhood with a rich past and plenty of great architecture to admire.

Meet your private guide at a designated point near the Hôtel de Ville to begin your cultural and historical walking tour of this section of Paris.

On your walk, you'll pass by palaces, art galleries, boutiques, bistros, and elegant tearooms while learning about the Marais's different identities over the years, from a residence for royalty to a Jewish community to a hip neighborhood home to contemporary art.

Sights you'll see include an external view of Hôtel de Ville, the templars' path, an external view of the Centre Pompidou, the Anne Frank garden, an external view of the Jewish Museum (Musée d'Art et d'Histoire du Judaïsme), an external view of the National Archives, an external view of Carnavalet Museum, an external view of the Picasso Museum, the Jewish and gay districts, an external view of the Victor Hugo house and the Jim Morrison house, and the Beaumarchais statue. Stroll below the arcades of Place de Vosges, and conclude your tour where the French Revolution began, the Bastille.
