Paris Latin Quarter and Le Marais Guided Tour

Join a guided tour that invites you to explore the essence of Paris through two of its most emblematic neighbourhoods: the Latin Quarter and Le Marais.

You will be able to choose between two tour options:

• A semi-private tour for small groups of up to 12 people, ideal for those who prefer a more intimate atmosphere.
• A private tour, perfect for those looking for a more personalised approach and the flexibility to explore at their own pace.

Starting with Le Marais, a neighbourhood that seamlessly blends history with modernity. In this district, you'll lose yourself in a labyrinth of narrow alleyways and marvel at the old aristocratic mansions, many of which today house art galleries and fashion boutiques. With the help of an expert guide, you'll explore this fascinating neighbourhood, passing historic landmarks such as the Place des Vosges, the oldest square in Paris, and the Carnavalet Museum, dedicated to the history of the city. You'll also stroll through the Jardin du Hôtel de Sully, a quiet corner in the middle of the city that connects with the aristocratic charm of Le Marais.

Afterwards, you will start your tour of the Latin Quarter, a place famous for its vibrant student life, where you will discover a part of the city full of history and culture. You will stroll along cobbled streets, surrounded by medieval architecture, lively cafés and old bookshops that have been a meeting point for intellectuals and artists throughout the centuries.

The University of Paris, better known as the Sorbonne, is one of the highlights of this area, a place that has witnessed the evolution of academic and cultural thought since the Middle Ages. Here, you can relive the atmosphere that inspired renowned writers such as Hemingway and Fitzgerald, who walked the same streets you will.

A special part of the tour is a visit to the old Jewish quarter, still full of life with its kosher restaurants and traditional shops. This area has been home to the Parisian Jewish community for centuries, and its presence is felt on every corner, from the Rue des Rosiers, famous for its delicatessens and speciality shops, to the Jardin des Rosiers, a small but beautiful park that invites contemplation.

This walking tour lasts approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes, during which time you will immerse yourself in the rich history and vibrant culture of Paris. The stories your guide will share throughout the activity will allow you to better understand how these two neighbourhoods, despite their differences, represent the true soul of the City of Light.
