High-end and historic, aristocratic and hippyish at the same time, the Marais is where old meets new. Explore this unique Parisian neighborhood, where modern art galleries are found side by side with ancient hotels and vintage boutiques, and see for yourself what is special about Marais!
Site of the first Jewish settlement, the most eclectic Parisian neighborhood – Marais - now welcomes its visitors on a tour discovering its highlights. One of them is Place de la Bastille, the location of the infamous Bastille fortress, which was stormed on July 14, 1789, triggering the start of the revolution in France and changing the course of the human history. Another area where you can quite sense the rich history is Rue des Rosiers, the heart of the traditional Jewish quarter. Its cobbled streets saw numerous Jewish communities which have lived here for centuries, starting from the 13th century. However, over the years the area has dramatically changed when many bakeries and kosher butchers were replaced by numerous high-end shops. Nonetheless, the strong scent of falafels and shawarmas in the air will prove that some things remain unchanged over the years, no matter what happens in the rest of the world. What else is so special about Marais? You'll know it on your walking tour, which gives a great orientation and a complete overview of this charming neighborhood!
