Marais Free Tour Where Parisians Go: Street Life, History & Fashion
FREETOUR.com says
Our Secret Traveller recommends this tour for "a fascinating sneak peek into one of Paris’ most elegant neighbourhoods". "This was a wonderfully alternative take on the Marais district, skipping the typical tourist landmarks and focusing more on authentic elements. We covered Jewish culture, architecture, fashion, and a little bit of everything. The guide is more than ready to give you local tips on where to find the best restaurants, bars, and shops in the area too for after your free walking tour".
Overview
We give you both the tourist must-sees and the Paris of the Parisians.
With "Marais - Where Parisians Go", you get to experience Paris for real. Marais is the district where Parisians like to spend their time - 400-year-old aristocratic townhouses, up-and-coming designer stores, and trendy spots. This is where we like to hang out, show off, flirt, and shop!
The small group will help you absorb the vibe of Marais - the art galleries, the sophisticated shops, the people.
Depending on guests' interests that day, the tour adapts to requests and can focus more on Jewish culture, old architecture, fashion, or a bit of everything!
To see more on this free tour, we do not spend time going inside each building.
