Description
The Marais serves as a testament to the seamless fusion of ancient and contemporary elements. From former prisoners in the Bastille to aristocrats, orthodox Jews to eccentric artists and fashion designers, this district has been a melting pot of diverse narratives. Embark on an enlightening journey through this district, which was originally a swamp drained by the Templar Knights in the 13th century. Follow the traces of Medieval architecture and uncover the hidden mansions that once provided residence to noble inhabitants. You'll see Paris' oldest synagogue. The guide will show you Jewish shops and restaurants that offer delicious delicacies such as Falafel, Hamantaschen, and Hanukkah Jelly Donuts. Discover the iconic Place des Vosges, and hidden mansions that once welcomed royal ministers, courtesans, and French aristocrats. Discover innovative designer boutiques and unwind in trendy cafés, the vibrant heart of Parisian nightlife for the dynamic gay and lesbian community.
