Le Marais/ Paris tour is to discover the secrets of one of the most exciting old area of the city.
You explore the beauty of French architecture of the aristocracy and royalty of France, waking in the narrow streets, along typical ‘Hotel Particuliers’- French urban ‘mansion’.
You admire the unique in Europe ‘Place de Vosges’ former ‘Place Royale’, where French writer, Victor Hugo lived and wrote the romantic novel ’Notre-Dame de Paris’ and the modern art galleries around it.
You walk along perfume and vintage shops, so appreciated by both Parisians and the travelers and small local food shops and French cafes and terraces.
My itinerary leads you to off – touristy spots, court- yards and gardens, to the Jewish district, with its typical food stores and refined kosher pastry.
Next to it, the lively LGBT district is to be visited especially for its cafés, bars and cool boutiques (optional).
Feel the awesome vibes of old and new in good harmony in Le Marais/ Paris.
Have fun!

This was my first time visiting the Le Marais area in Paris. Jill is an excellent tour guide. She is very personable, knowledgeable and passionate about the rich history of Le Marais. It was like going back in time with her to the 13th to 17th century of how this place all began. It is amazing to see some original buildings that still exist with newer buildings and how it has evolved into a charming district for everyone to visit. From historical and architectural buildings to cobblestones paths, and baked goods to restaurants, galleries, hip and unique boutiques, this place still has a strong presence of the Jewish Community, and acknowledging the gay community. Will definitely come back with my family on our next visit to Paris!

We had the pleasure of touring part of Le Marais with our tour guide, Jill. She is knowledgeable, personable and quite funny! As the tour started, Jill took the time to learn about each of our interests and why we were visiting Paris. We then walked many of the streets of Le Marais while Jill shared her knowledge of the history and current status of the Jewish and LGBTQ communities there. Because of her recommendation we decided to return to the area the next day and thoroughly enjoyed an exhibit at the Centre Pompidou. If you are planning a trip to Le Marais and want to learn more about its interesting and rich history, be sure to sign up for a tour with Jill. 5 stars!

Jill is a very knowledgeable and personable guide. We were a group of 4 and she took the time to address our interests and answer our questions. We definitely left having walked many areas of the Marais as well as learning about some of the history of its Jewish and LGBTQ communities.

The tour was extremely interesting and Jill, our guide, was extremely knowledgeable of this area. She took the time in the beginning to get to know us and figure out what we would be interested in seeing and learning about. She was also very accommodating for our physical limitations.
I highly recommend this tour to see an area of Paris not normally covered on the usual tours.
In all a wonderful tour.

The Le Marais tour with Jill was truly fantastic! She not only followed scheduled scripted tour but was open to any question about the neighborhood with marvelous spontaneous answers. Though the tour was scheduled only for two hours, she kept us mesmerized for another 30 minutes. It was a tour worth taking!

I just moved to Paris, so I thought I'd take a tour to get some fun facts and locations to show friends and family when they visit. Jill was so great I think I'll just book a private tour with her when they visit! So many fun facts and details, both historical and current, that I would've never been able to learn on my own, and all personalized to our interests. Merci beaucoup Jill!
