Go back in time with a tour of the Marais, Paris’ medieval quarter. Its name means ‘marsh’ and the area was originally swampland. It became a fashionable residence for royalty and 17th-century aristocrats, but fell out of favour after the French Revolution. Today it’s been restored and gentrified, and has strong Jewish and LGBTQ+ communities.

The Marais mainly escaped Baron Haussman’s modernisation of Paris in the 19th century, so has a different feel to a lot of the city, with narrow cobbled streets, elegant squares and mansion houses. It’s also home to some of Paris’ best museums and galleries. So join us on a self-guided Marais walking tour to discover the area’s historic highlights.

A self-guided walking tour of the Marais

Start your Marais walking tour outside Paris’ Hôtel de Ville. The closest Métro station is Hôtel de Ville (Lines 1 and 11) in the square in front of the building. It’s also less than 10 minutes’ walk from Cité (Line 4) and Châtelet (Lines, 1, 4 7, 11 and 14) stations.

Hôtel de Ville

The Hôtel de Ville is Paris’ city hall and the mayor’s official residence. It was built between 1533 and 1628, and has survived wars, riots and being burnt to the ground by the revolutionary Paris Commune in 1871. It took 19 years to rebuild after the fire, with the exteriors recreating the original design and new, lavish ceremonial rooms inside.

The square in front of the Hôtel de Ville was once used for public executions, with a guillotine set up here during the French Revolution. But today it’s used for less gory public activities, like a festive market at Christmas and a big screen for sports events.

Walk around the back of the Hôtel de Ville , following Rue de Rivoli past the BHV Marais department store. Turn right down Rue de Lobau then left along Place Saint-Gervais. Follow the road to the left of Saint-Gervais church down Rue François Miron.

Rue François Miron

Rue François Miron is one of the oldest streets in Paris, with two medieval half-timbered buildings on the left. The Maison du Faucheur and Maison du Mouton (House of the Reaper and House of Sheep) are named after the occupations of the people who lived there. It’s thought they were built in the 14th century, with the upper floors added later.

In 1607 the façades were covered with plaster to reduce the risk of fire, and were only uncovered in 1967. Many buildings from this period were destroyed during Baron Haussman’s 19th-century redevelopment of Paris, so these two are quite rare.

Turn right at the crossroads following Rue de Jouey, then take the second right down Rue du Figuier and walk as far as the Hôtel de Sens at the end of the street.

Hôtel de Sens and Bibliothèque Forney

With its golden stone archways and turrets, Hôtel de Sens looks like a fairytale castle tucked away in a quiet street in the Marais. It was built in the 15th century for Tristan de Salazar, the Archbishop of Sens, though he died before it was completed.

Look carefully and you can see a cannonball embedded above the entrance, with the date 28 July 1830 below it – dating back to the French Revolution. The Hôtel was later used as a factory and warehouse until the City of Paris took it over and restored it. It’s now home to the Forney Library, with a collection of books on decorative arts and a pretty garden.

Carry straight on, passing Square Marie-Trintignant (where there’s a free public toilet) on your right, then turn left down Rue des Jardins Saint-Paul. Through the archways on your right is the Village Saint-Paul, a collection of art, antique and gift shops set around cobbled courtyards – with a couple of cafés if you want to stop for a drink.

Wall of Philip II Augustus

Between 1190 and 1213, French King Philip Augustus built a great wall around the edge of Paris to protect the city while he was away on the Crusades. Once it was finished it ran for over 5km, stood six to eight metres tall and was three metres thick at the base.

The last of the wall’s gates were knocked down in the 1680s. And although most of the sections of wall left behind have been incorporated into buildings, you can see one of the longest stretches of it on your left, at the end of Rue des Jardins Saint-Paul.

Turn left down Rue Charlemagne then right down narrow Rue du Prévot, which joins onto Rue de Rivoli. Go right and you’ll see a church to your right.

Église Saint-Paul-Saint-Louis

The Church of Saint-Paul-Saint-Louis was the first Baroque church built in Paris, in a change to the usual Gothic style. It was built in 1627 for the Jesuits on the orders of Louis XIII, and was inaugurated by Cardinal Richelieu. But after the Jesuits were banished in 1762 it was used as a warehouse before being restored and used for services again.

Author Victor Hugo’s daughter Leopoldine got married here in 1843, and he donated two fonts to mark the occasion which you can still see today. And when he wrote Les Misérables , he included it as the church where Cosette and Marius get married.

Continue along the main road, which becomes the Rue Saint-Antoine. Then go through the arched doorway on your left which is marked ‘Hôtel de Sully’.

Hôtel de Sully

The Hôtel de Sully is another of the Marais’ impressive mansion houses. It was built in the 17th century for Maximilien de Béthune, Duke of Sully and close friend of King Henri IV. It’s now the headquarters of the Centre des Monuments Nationaux, who manage France’s historic monuments. And although the building isn’t open to the public, you can walk through its courtyards and admire the beautiful façades and courtyard garden.

Walk through the doorway in the far right corner which leads into the Place des Vosges.

Place des Vosges

The Place des Vosges is the oldest planned square in Paris, a perfectly symmetrical space set around a central garden. It was originally known as the Place Royale and was a fashionable place for the nobility to live in the 17th–18th centuries, with its red brick buildings contrasting with the medieval architecture of the Marais.

Former residents include Cardinal Richelieu and Victor Hugo, whose old house in the corner of the square is now the Maison de Victor Hugo museum (free entry, closed Mondays). And underneath the vaulted arches around the square are high-end antique shops, art galleries and cafés where you can stop for a coffee or a glass of wine.

At the opposite side of the square from where you entered it, walk to the west along Rue des Francs Bourgeois and you’ll see the Musée Carnavalet to your right.

Musée Carnavalet

The Musée Carnavalet takes you through the history of Paris, from prehistory to the present day (free entry, closed Mondays). Baron Haussmann had the idea for the museum in 1866, and stored objects and documents at the Hôtel de Ville while the museum was being built – which didn’t work out too well as his collection was destroyed in the 1871 fire.

It’s been rebuilt since, and the museum is now spread across two mansions. There are recreated rooms from different periods in Paris’ history, furniture, paintings and objects including the Hôtel de Ville’s original charred door and a chunk of the Bastille.

From the museum, carry on along Rue des Francs Bourgeois as far as Rue Pavée.

At this point you can take a short diversion to visit the Musée Cognacq–Jay (for 18th-century art and sculpture) or Musée Picasso . Go straight on at the junction and turn right up Rue Elzevir for the Musée Cognacq–Jay. Or walk past that museum and carry on along the Rue de Thorigny for the Musée Picasso.

Otherwise turn left down Rue Pavée, passing La Mouette Rieuse bookshop and café which does a great hot chocolate. Then turn right down the Rue des Rosiers. Look out for the entrance to the Jardin des Rosiers Joseph Migneret on your right, a tranquil community garden. Turn right at the end of the street then left onto Rue des Blancs Manteaux.

Église Notre-Dame des Blancs Manteaux

Go through an unassuming doorway on your left into the Catholic Church of Notre-Dame des Blancs Manteaux (named after the white mantles worn by the monks who founded the original church in 1258). The current Baroque church was built in the 1680s, and has an ornate Bavarian wooden pulpit and 17th-century paintings and sculptures.

Then go straight on and you’ll see the entrance to the National Archives on your right.

Archives Nationales

France has one of the oldest and biggest National Archives in the world. And the documents collected from before the French Revolution are held in two mansions in the Marais – the Hôtel de Soubise and Hôtel de Rohan – which are surrounded by gardens.

The Hôtel de Soubise is where you find the Musée des Archives Nationales (free entry, closed Tuesday). It displays a mix of exhibits from the archive’s collection, which goes all the way back to the first century AD. You can also see the ornate Rococo interiors.

Carry straight on across the junction onto Rue Rambuteau. When you reach a major junction with Rue Beaubourg, the Pompidou Centre will be in front of you. If you do a small diversion to the right here down Impasse Berthaud you can visit the Jardin Anne Frank, a lovely memorial garden with benches and a childrens’ play area.

Centre Pompidou

The Centre National d’Art et de Culture Georges-Pompidou (aka the Pompidou Centre ) is instantly recognisable for its quirky, inside-out architecture, with colourful pipes and escalators outside the building. It was designed by architects Richard Rogers and Renzo Piano and opened in 1977 – taking its name from the president who commissioned it.

Inside there’s the largest collection of modern and contemporary art in Europe, as well as a public library and exhibition space. There is an entry fee for the museum, but it’s free to climb up to the top floor where you get fantastic views out across Paris.

Walk around the side of the Pompidou Centre and finish your Marais walking tour by the colourful Stravinsky Fountain. The nearest Métro station is Rambuteau (Line 11), on the corner of Rue Rambuteau and Rue Beaubourg. Or it’s just a few minutes’ walk along Rue du Renard back to the Hôtel de Ville and its Métro station (Lines 1 and 11).

We did your Marais walk this morning and it was fantastic. My husband navigated with the Google Map you provided and I read the descriptions once we reached each place. We walked through all the museums and stopped for a couple snacks along the way. We made it a morning event. We especially loved the old street with the half-timbered buildings. Thanks again.

Self-Guided Walking Tour of the Marais Neighborhood

 Francisco García Collado / EyeEm / Getty Images

The  Marais  is one of Paris’ oldest and most visually stunning quarters. First developed in the 12th century, the neighborhood, whose name means "swamp" in French and once  was  one, went from being a royal favorite under Henri IV and Louis XIII, to falling into ruin after the French Revolution of 1789 . Since its revival in the 1960s, it has shone as a center of Parisian artistic and cultural life. It has also significantly gentrified, evolving from a mostly working-class and immigrant neighborhood to one of the most affluent and prestigious areas in the city. This, of course, is not to the liking of all, but whatever your stance, it's undoubtedly made it a stunning place to walk around, eat, drink, and lounge.

Tips and Background Information

The Marais is one of the only areas that preserves the narrow streets and architectural styles of Medieval and Renaissance-era Paris . Most of Paris was overhauled in the mid-19th century under the direction of Napoleon III and architect Baron Georges Eugène Haussmann.

The wide, sweeping boulevards and grey, classical-inspired apartments that characterize places like the Champs-Elysées and Montparnasse are the work of Haussmann, who also modernized Paris by installing sewer and water systems. The Marais has a much different flavor. Its dramatic residences or hôtels particuliers , artisan’s boutiques, galleries, lavish squares, and fascinating history are worth reserving at least a half-day of exploration for.

Tips for This Self-Guided Walking Tour

• The tour should take around two to three hours at a moderate pace.
• You can also pick and choose the sights that most interest you and see them in any order. Use our suggestions for eats and drinks to take any needed breaks.
• Make sure to wear comfortable walking shoes and to bring a backpack and reliable city map .
• Rainy days are not ideal for this tour.

The Hôtel de Sens: Medieval Royal Residence

TripSavvy / Taylor McIntyre

First up on this self-guided tour is a look at a little-known, but gorgeous, old medieval residence known as the Hotel de Sens.

Get off at Metro Pont-Marie (line 7), or by exiting at Metro Hôtel de Ville (lines 1 or 11) and walking East up Quai de Hôtel de Ville until you reach Metro Pont-Marie. Turn left on Rue des Nonnains des Hyères. Immediately to your right, you should see the majestic Hôtel de Sens .

The Residence

Stop here for a moment to admire this medieval residence's elegant formal gardens and dramatic design. On a sunny day, sitting on one of the garden benches to contemplate is a real treat.

Interesting Facts

• Built between 1475 and 1519, the medieval residence originally housed the archbishops of Sens, the order of bishops that Paris belonged to during the middle ages.
• The mixed architectural styles visible in the Hôtel de Sens show the transition that occurred between medieval and Renaissance styles over the course of the hôtel's construction.
• Henri IV's ex-wife, Queen Margot, took up residence in 1605. Known for her eccentricity and lavish tastes, Queen Margot pursued many love affairs here. She is even rumored to have collected the hair of her lovers to fashion wigs from them.

Walk through the garden area and turn right around the building to see the main facade of the residence.

• The main facade shows medieval-style turrets and windows and a keep characteristic of fortresses. The arched entryway leads into a courtyard.
• Today, the residence houses an art library.

Remnants of a Medieval Paris Fortress

From the Hôtel de Sens, walk down Rue des Figuiers until it turns into Rue de l'Avé Maria. Turn left onto Rue des Jardins Saint-Paul.

The Fortress

To your left, above the basketball courts, you can see the remnants of the medieval fortress built by King Philippe-Auguste in the 12th century, and whose foundations can be seen at the Louvre . You're now facing the largest remaining section of the enormous wall that once surrounded Paris. It's pretty unassuming, right? It's very easy to overlook this important architectural detail entirely, given how little the city highlights it to passersby.

• The fortress was built by Philippe-August to keep invaders out. It also defined the borders of 12th century Paris. Certain parts of the Marais were excluded from the protection of the king, who banned certain populations, including Jews, from the city.
• Just behind the wall is the famed Lycée Charlemagne. Historical figures such as romantic poet Gerard de Nerval were schooled here.
• If you look down to the far right side of the wall, you can see the remains of two towers, also part of the medieval city.

On the right side of Rue des Jardins Saint-Paul, there are several covered passageways. Go ahead and walk through one of them.

The Saint-Paul Village: Antique Shopping and History

The covered passageways will bring you into a series of quiet, interconnected courtyards known as the Saint-Paul Village.

The Village

Art galleries, fine antiques, food shops, and artisan boutiques selling unique home decorations can be found here. Weekend yard sales are frequent. Take some time to explore.

• A women's monastery built in 630 was once located here.
• In 1360, King Charles V built an official residence, the Hôtel de Saint Pol, here. The site would serve the Parish of the Kings of France for nearly two centuries.
• In 1970, much of the village was still without running water, and serious hygiene problems led to major renovations.
• Today, antique dealers and collectors count the Village Saint-Paul as one of the best spots in Paris for finding treasures of historical importance.

After exploring the village, take one of the right-side exits through the passageways. You should find yourself on a busy street, Rue Saint-Paul. Turn left.

Rue Saint-Paul counts plenty of charming traditional bars, bistros, and sandwich shops. Take a break here if you'd like.

To continue the tour, walk down Rue Saint-Paul until you reach Rue Saint-Antoine.

In 1559, Henri II died here during a tournament when his guard, Montgomery, pierced his eye with a lance.

Saint-Paul-Saint-Louis Church

Turn left and stay on the left side of the street. Walk about a block. You should soon reach the St.Paul-St.-Louis Church , which is located at 99, Rue Saint-Antoine.

• Commissioned by Louis XIII and completed by 1641, the Church is one of the oldest examples of Jesuit architecture in Paris. The Jesuit style features classical elements such as Corinthian pillars and heavy ornamentation.
• The church was inspired by the baroque-style Gesu Church in Rome.
• The current Lycée Charlemagne was once the church convent. In 1763, the Jesuits (a Catholic order prominent during the Renaissance) were expelled from France, and the convent became a school.
• The church features a 195-foot dome. It is best appreciated from the interior because the columns of the three-tiered church facade hide the dome.
• The Cardinal Richelieu gave the church's first mass in 1641.
• The church was pillaged and damaged during the 1789 French Revolution. St.-Paul-Saint-Louis briefly served as a "Temple of Reason" under the Revolutionary government, which banned traditional religion.
• Though many artifacts were stolen from the church during the Revolution, some important works were spared. The most impressive is Delacroix' Christ in the Garden of Olives (1827), which can be seen near the entrance.

Place du Marché Sainte-Catherine

 TripSavvy / Taylor McIntyre

Exit the church and cross Rue Saint-Antoine. Continue walking straight, down Rue de Sévigne. Make a direct right onto Rue d'Ormesson. You should find yourself on a quaint square, la Place du Marché Sainte-Catherine. Yes, there are a lot of saints on this tour.

The Place du Marché Sainte-Catherine is an example of how quaint and village-like the Marais can be, though, during weekends and high tourist season, this is not always the case.

Enjoy the cheerful atmosphere of the square. You may see neighborhood kids bounding about since this is a favorite spot for play.

• Built in the 13th century, in honor of Saint Catherine.
• The buildings surrounding the square are recent, in Parisian terms anyway: they date to the 18th century.
• The square was made pedestrian-only last century. Since then, it has become a favorite spot for laid-back, greenery-enhanced sipping and nibbling. Take an opportunity to do so here, if you'd like.

Hôtel de Sully: Residence Dating to the Renaissance

Go back to Rue Ormesson and walk in the opposite direction from where you first came. Turn right onto Rue de Turenne, then left back on to Rue Saint-Antoine. Walk to #62. You should find yourself at another historical residence, the Hôtel de Sully.

The Hôtel de Sully

Entering the Hôtel de Sully, walk through a reception area to the main courtyard. Here you can observe the neoclassical style characteristic of the residence. Greek-inspired statuary and reliefs abound. Twin sphinxes face each other at the foot of the staircase leading out of the courtyard.

• A former minister of Henri IV, Sully, once resided here.
• The cobblestone-paved front courtyard features a celebrated series of sculptures representing the four elements and the two seasons. Make sure to walk around the courtyard to get a feel for these.
• The Orangerie, or second courtyard, features a classical formal garden and an ornate stone lattice, which you can see on the right side when entering the garden.

Place des Vosges

Walk straight across the Orangerie and head to the right. A passageway should lead you out of the garden and into a covered gallery - part of the magnificent Place des Vosges .

An Unparalleled Square

Place des Vosges is quite arguably Paris' most beautiful square . Walking under the covered galleries leading out from the Hôtel de Sully, notice that they are part of an assembly of 36 red brick and stone pavilions surrounding the majestic, tree-shaded square. The Place des Vosges served as royal stomping grounds for centuries. Today it is a wonderful place to unwind, stroll, and dine.

• The square originally housed the royally-owned Hôtel de Tournelles. Charles VII and Louis XIII both lived at Tournelles.
• In the early 17th century, Henri IV's demands for an opulent residence within the city lead to the construction of the Place des Vosges, then called the Place Royale .
• Celebrated author Victor Hugo lived at #6. The Maison Victor Hugo museum dedicated to the writer of The Hunchback of Notre Dame and Les Misérables is located there today.
• Today, the galleries are occupied by fine art galleries, restaurants that tend toward the pricey, and classical musicians who set up shop and attract large crowds.
• The small park in the center of the square is one of the few places in Paris where you can sit on the grass, but watch out for signs reading pelouse en repos (the lawn is resting!)-- this means you're temporarily not allowed to sprawl out on the grass.

The Rue des Francs-Bourgeois: Popular for Sunday Shopping

TripSavvy / Taylor McIntyre 

Leave the Place des Vosges by walking in the opposite direction from Rue Saint-Antoine and the Hôtel de Sully. Turn left onto Rue des Francs-Bourgeois.

Once a street where artisan weavers worked, Rue des Francs-Bourgeois is still a major center of fashion and design. It is one of the Marais area's most popular shopping districts, and most of the shops are open on Sundays, including some of Paris's top perfume shops such as Diptyque. It also houses some impressive but often overlooked, Renaissance-era buildings. Take some time to browse some of the unique fashion and jewelry boutiques here and to admire the historic residences.

• It was named after the destitute occupants of the "almshouses" that were built here and who were freed from having to pay taxes.
• At the corner of Rue de Sévigné and Rue des Francs Bourgeois is the Hôtel Carnavalet, built in 1548. Today it houses the Museum of the History of Paris, also known as the Musée Carnavalet. This is one of Paris's many free museums, and the permanent collection is memorable. On the Rue des Francs-Bourgeois side, you can peer through the decorated iron gates into the Carnavalet's lavish formal gardens.
• Just across from the Hôtel Carnavalet on Francs-Bourgeois is the Hôtel Lamoignon, built in the late 16th century by Diane of France, daughter of Henri II. Today it houses the Historical Library of the City of Paris. You can visit the courtyard by turning left on Rue Pavée.
• At #29 bis and #31 is the Hôtel d'Albret. It was built in the 16th century and renovated in the 17th century. Today it houses administrative offices for the Cultural Affairs department of Paris.

Continue down Rue des Francs-Bourgeois. You will see other Renaissance-style residences lining the street. Keep on the left side and turn left on Rue Vieille du Temple.

This is the artery of nightlife in the area. Lots of charming, quirky bars and restaurants can be found here.

Rue des Rosiers: Culture and Street Food in the Old Jewish Quarter

Has this tour whetted your appetite? If so, you're in luck: the last stop allows you to taste some delicious traditional treats like falafel and pastries in the old Jewish quarter around the Rue des Rosiers. 

From Rue Vieille du Temple, make a left on a narrow street called Rue des Rosiers. 

Historic Jewish Quarter

Rue des Rosiers is the main thoroughfare of the Marais' historic Jewish quarter . Walking down this street and seeing the facades scrawled in Hebrew and French, many of them dating to the early 20th century, you can sense the rich history here.

• The area is also known as the Pletzl , which means square in Yiddish.
• Large Jewish communities have lived here on and off for centuries, starting in the 13th century, when the area was known as "The Old Jewry." At the constant mercy of kings who periodically expelled them from France, Jews only acquired a measure of stability in the early 19th century, under Napoléon I.
• During WWII, the neighborhood was especially targeted by the Nazi occupation and the collaborationist French police. Many schools in the area attest to that, including one that can be found off of Rue de Rosiers, at 6, Rue des Hospitalières-St.-Gervais. A commemorative plaque stands at the boy's school here. 165 students from this school were deported to concentration camps.
• Today, the street and the surrounding neighborhood is well-known for its delicious Middle Eastern and Yiddish/Eastern European specialties. Now is the time to take a break!

Le Marais is the most Parisian neighborhood of Paris. It will give you the charm of the city and of the Parisian way of life. A mix of old stones and contemporary elegance.

The Marais is also a major area of Paris for arts, mostly modern and contemporary arts. It features major museums: the Pompidou center (we locals refer to it as the “Beaubourg center”),the Picasso Museum, the European photo museum, the Jewish History museum, the Memorial of the Holocaust, as well as major art galleries.

Le Marais is also a very cosmopolitan neighborhood, with many communities living there in harmony: the Jewish community around the Pletzl (from rue des Rosiers to rue du-roi-de-Sicile), the Chinese community in the North, the LGBTQ community with numerous rainbow flag bars, and finally the hipster community in all the trendy spots of the Marais.

In short, the Marais is a magical mix of the past beauty of Paris and its refined present-day way of life.

The Paris Marais has many different kinds of restaurants. And that only makes sense when you consider that Le Marais is also the most cosmopolitan area of Paris. You will find specialties from all over the world.

In the end, the Marais might be known best for its kosher restaurants, its Jewish specialties and its falafels. Most famous is “l’As du Falafel” on rue des Rosiers street.

How long does it take to walk around Le Marais?

Difficult to answer! A rough estimate suggests that it it will take you 2 to 3 hours to explore the main attractions of Le Marais on foot on your own. This involves taking a stroll along the main streets, such as Rue des Rosiers and rue des francs-bourgeois, and discovering the historical landmarks such as Place des Vosges and Hôtel de Ville.

Our Marais tour runs a relaxed 90 minutes and we will show you the best of this iconic neighborhood.

What are the best streets to walk in Le Marais Paris?

Rue des Rosiers

The Marais is known as the historic Jewish quarter. Rue des Rosiers is considered the center of Jewish life in Paris. It has a synagogue, Hebraic bookstores, the emotional Jardin Migneret memorial garden, and some famous shops and restaurants.

The street is also historically significant, with plaques commemorating victims of the Shoah, and an antisemitic attack on a restaurant that took place in 1982. This is the place to be if you want to savor amazing street food, particularly some of the finest falafel in town.

Rue des Francs Bourgeois

Rue des Francs Bourgeois, located in the stylish part of Marais, is a popular shopping and trend-spotting destination for locals. This street offers a unique blend of shopping options, museums, and the true charm of Marais.

With a variety of Parisian fashion brands such as Maje and Sandro, home decor stores and concept shops like La Piscine (offering men’s and women’s fashion), this narrow street is a must-visit for a relaxed stroll.

Rue Vieille du Temple

Rue Vieille du Temple is a charming and picturesque street in trendy Paris that offers both tourists and locals a delightful shopping experience.

The street is home to a plethora of artisan boutiques and designer shops, offering everything from unique fashion finds to hand-crafted accessories.

Le Marais: Paris Hidden Gem

Tucked away behind the famous Notre Dame is a small gem of a neighbourhood where amongst mediaeval architecture, nowhere to be found in the rest of Paris, you can discover the trendiest boutiques and galleries, chic spots for brunch and the best night bars. The area is a home to two distinctive communities: Jewish and LGBT+ and a favourite meeting place for Parisians. Join us to discover Le Marais, a local treasure with tons of stories to tell and flavours to discover.

Its story begins in the 13th century when it was primarily marshland (hence the name “Marais,” meaning “marsh” in French) before being transformed into a district favoured by the nobility in the 16th and 17th centuries. This era saw the construction of opulent mansions and private hotels, such as the Hôtel de Sens and Hôtel de Sully, which exemplify the architectural elegance of the period. Le Marais was spared from Haussmann’s urban renewal, preserving remnants of its illustrious past, mediaeval and renaissance. Over the centuries, Le Marais has been a melting pot of cultural influences, notably becoming a prominent Jewish community hub in the 19th and 20th centuries. Despite facing challenges such as neglect and proposed demolition in the 20th century, preservation efforts have since protected and revitalised the area. Today, Le Marais stands as a cherished emblem of Parisian history, art, and diversity, attracting visitors and locals alike to its picturesque streets, historic buildings, and vibrant cultural scene.

Join our tour to marvel at the architectural masterpieces like the Hôtel de Sully and the ancient Wall of Philippe Auguste, the oldest city wall of Paris, dating back to the 12th century. Let us show you picturesque private mansions offering a glimpse into the district’s opulent history. Stroll through lush hidden gardens, leading to the iconic Place des Vosges, favourite local meeting place. Follow the footsteps of literary giant Victor Hugo and hear the story of the Museum of the History of Paris, deeply intertwined with the district’s rich heritage. Discover the vibrant Jewish quarter, home to Paris’s Jewish community since the 13th century. In the 19th and 20th century it started to be called the Pletzl, meaning “little place” in Yiddish and became a hub for Eastern European Jews fleeing persecution. Walk through Rue des Rosiers to indulge in the flavours of the area, from traditional Jewish delicacies to the best falafel in town. 

Let us guide you through Le Marais, offering local insider tips on the best eateries, patisseries, museums, and galleries and immerse yourself in the unique vibe of this iconic Parisian neighbourhood.

During this 2 hour tour you will see and discover:

• Hotel Sens 
• Ancient city walls of Paris 
• Village Saint Paul 
• Hotel Sully 
• Place de Vosges and Victor Hugo House 
• Musee Carnavalet ( Museum of the History of Paris ) 
• The Pletzl (Jewish district) and Rue des Rosiers

Le Marais walking Tour

THE WALK This walk takes you to the Marais , area situated between the 3rd and 4th arrondissements of Paris. Spared by the great Haussmannian works (19th century), it is above all an area of ​​exceptional architecture, as there are still a lot of magnificent mansions of the 17th century, which now mainly houses museums. Originally settled on a vast marshy area (so the name of « Marais », that means “Marsh”), the district had its heyday in the early 17th century when King Henry IV decided to build a sublime place dedicated to stroll: la Place des Vosges (inaugurated in 1612). Then, the mansions will flourish in the Marais which will be the fashionable district throughout the century. Today, the neighborhood is pretty”trendy” (where you will find a plethora of shops and designer brands), and hosts a diversified population (Gays, Jews, Asians…). But it is above all one of the most gorgeous area in Paris for a walk !  

  THE ITINERARY

• Beginning of the walk at the metro stop Pont Marie (line 7). Take Quai des Célestins for 150 meters (having the Ile Saint Louis on your rightside).
• Turn left on rue des Jardins Saint-Paul . On your left is the biggest remnant of Paris of the Philippe Auguste wall, built around the city in the 12th century. Continue straight on until rue Charlemagne (notice the beautiful fountain in front of you) and turn right.
• Rue Saint-Paul , go to number 8 of the street. You can see a pretty watchtower dating from the late 16th century. Then, retrace your steps and continue ahead rue Saint-Paul.
• On your left, you’ll pass by a dead-end, the Impasse Saint-Paul . Take it. At the end of it is a hidden entrance to the beautiful Saint-Paul Saint-Louis Church.
• Return rue Saint-Paul and go straight on . Rue Saint-Antoine, turn right and head towards rue Birague (left sidewalk). At the end of the street is the magnificent Place des Vosges .
• Everything is fabulous, and lush, Place des Vosges . Stroll around the arcades and enjoy the unique atmosphere of the place, probably the most beautiful place in Paris. Do not miss Louis XIII public garden, in the middle of the Place.

• Then, head to north-west of the square and take the rue des francs-bourgeois . This street, bordered by a lot of mansions, is the backbone of the district. You are in the heart of Le Marais.
• Go straight on. You can see, amongst other things, the Musée Carnavalet , museum dedicated to the history of Paris.
• Turn left on rue Pavée . You will pass by the Hotel Lamoignon, mansion housing nowadays the « historical library of Paris ».

• Go back rue des Francs-Bourgeois on your right. 50 meters on your left is the Impasse des Arbalétriers (crossbowmen dead-end), where is today the cultural center of Switzerland. It is here that «  John the Fearless  » killed his cousin, the King’s brother, the Duke of Orleans.
• Continue straight on rue des Francs-Bourgeois. A new unsual discovery is expecting you at 35-37 rue des Francs-Bourgeois . Entering the building (now the Maison de l’Europe), you can access the most secret garden of Paris: the francs-Bourgeois-Rosiers public garden .
• Like the surprises ? So go to the n°55 of street, and enter the courtyard of the Crédit Municipal . On the rightside is another piece of the Philippe Auguste wall.
• Go then to 60 rue des Francs-Bourgeois and enter the Hôtel de Soubise (housing the Archives Nationales Museum). This is undoubtedly the most impressive mansions of the district we are still able to visit freely! Do not forget to visit the wonderful garden of the Archives Nationales .

START: Village St-Paul (23–27 rue St-Paul, Métro: St-Paul).

FINISH: Place des Vosges.

TIME: 1 1/2 hours, not including time spent in shops, restaurants, or museums.

BEST TIME: During the week, when the streets are full of life, and Sundays, when unlike other parts of the city, many shops and restaurants are open.

WORST TIME: Saturdays, when shoppers flood most of the neighborhood and the Jewish quarter completely shuts down.

The Marais is one of the few areas that Baron Haussmann largely ignored when he was tearing up the rest of the city; for that reason, it still retains a medieval feel. Though very few buildings actually date from the Middle Ages, this warren of narrow streets and picturesque squares is layered with a rich history, which is apparent in the pleasing hodgepodge of architectural styles. The neighborhood’s glory days date from the 16th and 17th centuries, when anyone who was anyone simply had to build a mansion or a palace here. Though the area fell from grace in the 18th and 19th centuries, many of the grand hôtels particuliers (private mansions) survived the slings and arrows of time and were reborn as museums and public archives when the neighborhood was restored in the latter half of the 20th century. Today, the Marais is a fascinating mix of hip gentrification and the remnants of a working-class neighborhood. It is at once the center of the city’s gay life, as well as the historic Jewish quarter, even if a much larger community lives in the 19th arrondissement. Some of the city’s best museums and boutiques are in the Marais, so you could easily spend an entire day here. 1. Village St-Paul

Many centuries ago, a small hamlet sat on this spot when the area was still mostly marshland ( marais means “swamp”). While the neighborhood has transformed many times since, a small reminder of this village lives on, hidden behind an ordinary row of buildings on rue St-Paul. Pass through the entryway and you’ll come into a kind of large interior courtyard that dates from the 14th century, when it was part of the gardens of Charles V’s royal residence. At one point the houses and buildings built over and around the gardens were slated for demolition; a neighborhood committee saved them, and in the 1970s the village was restored and turned into a sort of antiques center, with stores and art galleries (see www.levillagesaintpaul.com and “Shopping”). The village hosts seasonal déballages , or outdoor arts and antiques fairs. Today the commercial emphasis has shifted from antiquities to design.

Exit the village on rue des Jardins St-Paul. On one side of this street is a playground that runs along a huge stone wall, the:

2. Rampart of Philippe Auguste

Before you is the best-preserved stretch of the city walls built by Philippe Auguste. Before leaving town on a crusade in 1190, Philippe decided the time had come to beef up security. The result was a mighty rampart that defined what was then the city limits. The wall in front of you once ran in a semicircle from the Seine, up to around rue Etienne Marcel, and curved over to protect the Louvre and back down to the Seine (a similar semicircle was built 20 years later on the Left Bank). Aside from this stretch, only small fragments can be found here and there on both banks so you’ll have to imagine the rest; you’ll also have to imagine the towers and the six massive portals that once were the only land access into the city.

Turn left down rue des Jardins St-Paul and right on rue de l’Avé Maria. Just where it branches off to the right on rue du Figuier is:

3. Hôtel de Sens

Built between 1475 and 1519, this splendid fortress/mansion is a rare example of medieval urban architecture. When Paris came under the jurisdiction of the Bishop of Sens back in the 15th century, he promptly built himself a suitably fabulous home in the city. Later, Henri IV briefly used it to house his strong-minded wife, Queen Margot, whose many love affairs were causing him no end of headaches. The bishops stopped coming to the Hôtel de Sens altogether in 1622, preferring to rent it out. After the Revolution it served as a laundry operation, a jam factory, and a glass warehouse. By the time the city bought it in 1911, it was in a pitiful state; the building’s restoration—which started in 1929—wouldn’t be completed until 1961. The Hôtel now houses the Bibliothèque Forney , a library dedicated to the decorative arts. Take a minute to admire the turrets and towers in the courtyard (visible from the street).

Follow the side of the building down rue du Figuier and turn left onto the path that leads around to the back of the Hôtel, where there are pretty French gardens. The path leads to rue des Nonnains d’Hyères, where you’ll turn right, then walk left on rue de Jouy to where it intersects with:

4. Rue François Miron

Walk left down rue François Miron to the corner of rue Cloche Perce. You will notice two multistoried half-timbered houses: the Maison à l’Enseigne du Faucheur (no. 11) and the Maison à l’Enseigne du Mouton (no. 13). Pre-Haussmann, houses like these were once all over the city; now they are extremely rare. These two date from the 14th century, though after 1607 the crisscrossed wood facades of all such houses were covered with a layer of plaster in accordance with a law that aimed to reduce the risk of fire. When these houses were restored in the 1960s, the plaster was removed and the wood was once again revealed.

Double back and continue down rue François Miron until it ends at the St-Paul Métro station. Cross the rue de Rivoli and continue left up rue Pavée to:

5. The Pletzl

You are now entering the city’s oldest Jewish quarter, once called the Pletzl (“little place” in Yiddish), where there has been a Jewish presence since the 13th century. This community swelled and shrank over the centuries, in line with various edicts and expulsions, but the largest influx was in the 1880s, when tens of thousands of Eastern European Jews, fleeing poverty and persecution back home, settled in France. The Pletzl was hit hard during the infamous roundups of 1942, when police came and emptied apartment buildings and even schools of their Jewish occupants and sent them off to Nazi concentration camps. Though the neighborhood is slowly being eaten up by the area’s advancing gentrification, and chic shops pop up next to kosher butchers, a small and fairly traditional community still lives here. At no. 10 is the unusual Synagogue de la rue Pavée , designed by Hector Guimard, the Art Nouveau master who created the famous Métro entrances. This is the only existing religious edifice by Guimard, whose wife was Jewish (they fled to the U.S. during World War II). In 1940, on Yom Kippur, the Germans dynamited the synagogue; it was eventually restored and is now a national monument (open for religious services only).

Continue up rue Pavée to where it crosses:

6. Rue des Rosiers

Rumor has it that this street got its name from the rose bushes that once lined its edges, back in the days when it ran along the exterior of the city walls. Up until recently, it was the main artery of the Jewish quarter; today, all that’s left are a few kosher restaurants and a bookstore or two. Great falafel can still be found here ( L’As du Fallafel ); if you happen to be in the area around lunchtime, you might get handed a free sample from one of the competing restaurants.

Turn left on rue des Rosiers and continue to the end, where you’ll turn right on rue Vieille du Temple. You are now in the thick of the trendier (and gay) part of the neighborhood, which is filled with fun restaurants and boutiques. Take the first left at rue des Blancs Manteaux and follow this pretty street all the way to where it ends at:

7. Rue du Temple

By the time you hit this street you’ll notice that the neighborhood has changed from trendy to workaday; rue du Temple is lined with jewelry and clothing wholesalers. But this street—which back in medieval times led to the stalwart fortress of the Knights Templar—also harbors some lovely examples of 17th-century hôtels particuliers (private mansions). Turn right and walk to no. 71, the Hôtel de St-Aignan , otherwise known as the Musée d’Art et d’Histoire du Judaïsme . This exercise in 17th-century grandeur includes a sneaky architectural lie: One of the three facades facing the courtyard, which seems to be the front of an enormous building, is really just a facade. Despite the presence of carefully curtained windows, on the other side of the wall is merely another wall, yet another chunk of Philippe Auguste’s ramparts.

Continue up to rue de Braque and turn right. Walk to the end where the street intersects with rue des Archives. Across the street is the:

8. Hôtel de Clisson

The vaulted archway is what is left of the Hôtel de Clisson , a magnificent mansion that was built in 1380 and for centuries housed some of the grandest of the grand, including dukes of Guise, who hung out there for 135 years. Well, it may have been good enough for them, but by 1700, when François de Rohan, the Prince of Soubise got his hands on it, he decided the time had come for a change (see below).

Turn right and walk down rue des Archives to rue des Francs Bourgeois and turn left. First thing you’ll see on your left is the sumptuous gateway to the:

9. Hôtel de Soubise

The enormous cour d’honneur, a huge horseshoe-shaped courtyard, is edged with open galleries holding 56 pairs of double columns. These lead to a largely 17th-century palace, which now holds the National Archives. This jaw-dropping sight was the creation of architect Pierre Alexis Delamair, who was hired by the Prince of Soubise to build on to the courtyard and overhaul the building. Later the prince’s son, the future Cardinal de Rohan, asked Delamair to build him his own palace next door, the adjoining Hôtel de Rohan-Strasbourg (more archives are stashed here, not open to the public). A part of the Hôtel de Soubise houses the Musée des Archives Nationale (60 rue des Francs-Bourgeois, 3rd arrond.; www.archives-nationales.culture.gouv.fr ; 01-40-27-60-96 ; admission to permanent collection 5€ adults, free for visitors 25 and under; Mon and Wed–Fri 10am–5:30pm, Sat–Sun 2–5:30pm), which displays tantalizing items from the vast National Archives, as well as temporary expositions. For example, you can see the Serment de Jeu de Paume, a document that signaled the birth of the French Republic, and Marie Antoinette’s last letter . You can also visit the apartments of the Prince and Princess of Soubise . Though just a few rooms, they retain the sumptuous decor of the period and give a sense of how the other half lived in the 18th century. You will most likely have the rooms to yourself, giving the odd impression that you have somehow stumbled into a private chateau.

Continue down rue des Francs Bourgeois and window-shop (or just plain shop) in the stylish boutiques that line this street. Turn left onto rue Elzevir, and head to the:

10. HôtelDonon

This sumptuous 16th-century mansion houses the Musée Cognacq-Jay , a small but fabulous museum dedicated to 18th-century art. It’s free, so even if you don’t have time for a leisurely museum visit, you can wander into its courtyard (a good place for admiring its beautiful exterior) or zip quickly through its lavish rooms, filled with paintings and knickknacks, without guilt. Originally built in 1575, the hôtel got its name from its first owner, Médéric de Donon, Controller General of the Royal Estates. From 1640 onwards, however, it passed into the hands of other wealthy families who made their own improvements and extensions—not all of them good: By the early 20th century, the building had (like many other Marais mansions) become commercial premises, with one area containing a grubby garage. Fortunately, it was acquired by the City of Paris in 1974, and restored to its former glory, so today you can easily imagine how it would have looked in old Médéric’s day. Architecturally, the building is typical of other 16th-century Marais hôtels —symmetrical design, with wings set around a rectangular courtyard—but it stands out for its stonework, which is much less ornate than that of other grand mansions in the Marais. Not that that detracts from its beauty: Stand in the courtyard and you’ll find its straight, simple lines simply breathtaking. 

Go back and turn left back onto rue des Francs Bourgeois, then left again to the intersection with rue Payenne for a short detour to the right, about half a block down:

Take a Break 

The Hôtel de Marle is the home of the Institut Suédois , Swedish Institute (11 rue Payenne, 3rd arrond.; https://paris.si.se ; 01-44-78-80-11 ; Tues–Sun noon–6pm), which has a lovely cafe with tables in the courtyard in the summer. Nibble a vanilla-scented kanelbulle while you take in the exterior of this 16th-century mansion, which at one point was the home of Yolande de Polastron, a close friend of Marie Antoinette. If you still need a rest, sprawl out on a bench in the Square Georges Cain, a small leafy park just across the street.

Walk back down rue Payenne, cross rue des Francs Bourgeois, and walk another half-block down rue Pavée (the extension of rue Payenne) to:

11. Hôtel de Lamoignon

Built in 1584 for Diane de France, the legitimized daughter of one of Henri II’s extramarital encounters, this massive mansion was acquired by a famous family of magistrates (the Lamoignons) in the 17th century. You’ll have no problem getting into the courtyard here (the building now houses the Library of the History of the City of Paris ), where you can get a good look at the facade. The dog’s heads, arrows, quivers, and other hunting imagery carved into the stonework are references to the first owner’s namesake, Diana, goddess of the hunt. A later Lamoignon, Guillaume, who was the first president of the Parisian Parliament, turned his home into a meeting place for the leading lights of the epoch—Madame de Sévigné, Racine, and Bourdaloue were regulars at his parties. The building became a library in the 1960s.

Go back up to rue des Francs Bourgeois and turn right. Turn right again on rue de Sévigné and left on rue de Jarente to:

12. Place du Marché Ste-Catherine

The name speaks to the open-air market that once stood here; today, this shaded plaza remains a lovely oasis of green and quiet in this busy neighborhood. Thankfully, no cars are allowed on the square, and the cafes on its edges all have outdoor seating in nice weather.

Continue to rue St-Antoine and turn left without crossing the street to no. 62:

13. Hôtel de Sully

The most splendiferous of the many splendiferous mansions in the Marais, the Hôtel de Sully was built by a rich 17th-century businessman, a certain Mesme-Gallet. While his version was quite sumptuous, the mansion really came to life when it was bought by the Duc de Sully, who hired architect François Le Vau to give it a makeover. After his death, the palacelike edifice was sold, divided, and built upon—like so many mansions in the Marais. In 1827 it was a boardinghouse for young girls, and up until the end of World War II shops and outbuildings still disfigured its grace. Using the original plans and contemporary drawings and etchings, the building was completely restored in the 1970s to Le Vau’s version; you can now stroll through the courtyard and admire the sculpted exterior in its virtually pristine state. Though the building is closed to the public, you can traipse through the front courtyard to a second one with a peaceful garden filled with sparrows.

Go through the archway in the back of the garden to the:

14. Place des Vosges

Officially inaugurated in 1612, this exquisite Renaissance square , bordered by 36 virtually identical stone and brick town houses, was the idea of King Henri IV, who unfortunately didn’t live to see it finished. After a stroll under the arcades, which run below the town houses, take a seat on a bench in the square and admire the tall trees and elegant symmetry of the landscaping, as well as the huge statue in the middle of Louis XIII astride his horse. This statue is a 19th-century replacement for the original, which was melted down during the Revolution. The square has seen a number of illustrious tenants over the centuries: Madame de Sévigné was born at no. 1 bis, the 19th-century actress Rachel lived at no. 9, and poet Théophile Gautier and novelist Alphonse Daudet both lived at no. 10. The most famous inhabitant, no doubt, was Victor Hugo, who lived at no. 6 from 1832 to 1848; his house is now the free-to-visit Maison de Victor Hugo .

Paris’ Latin Quarter Walking Tour

Start this Paris’ Latin Quarter walking tour from Place Saint-Michel , which can be reached by metro line 4 / RER B and by getting off at the Saint-Michel Notre Dame station.

1. Place Saint-Michel

The beautiful Place Saint-Michel is the lively heart of the Latin Quarter, a beloved meeting place for many Parisians. The square as we know it today was part of Baron Haussmann’s restructuring of Paris (1855) to form a suitable bridgehead for the new, wider Pont Saint-Michel, which was rebuilt at the same time as the square.

At the center of the square is an imposing fountain with a bronze statue of Saint-Michel, spectacularly illuminated in the evening. From the square starts a maze of narrow streets packed with traditional boulangeries, delicious brasseries, and charming bookstores.

Standing on Place Saint-Michel, with the Seine River behind you, look to your left and take Rue de la Huchette.

2. Rue de la Huchette

Along Rue de la Huchette , there are three spots worth a short stop: Rue du Chat-qui-Pêche (perpendicular to this street), Le Caveau de la Huchette (#5), and Le Theatre de la Huchette (#23).

Le Caveau de la Huchette has an interesting history that goes back to medieval times, and it is best known for being the first club in Paris where jazz was played. No one at the Caveau de la Huchette will ever forget Sidney Bechet’s colossal jam sessions! Still today, a jazz band performs every evening.

The Rue du Chat-qui-Pêche takes its current name from an eponymous sign, which has since disappeared from the city’s landscape. Large 1,80 m, this is the narrowest street in Paris.

The Théâtre de la Huchette is a small theatre (85 seats) known for playing Eugène Ionesco’s absurdist double-bill of The Lesson and The Bald Soprano in permanent repertory since 1957. Today, a third play is presented, and this changes from time to time.

In 5 minutes, you will arrive at the next stop of this Latin Quarter free walking tour.

3. Shakespeare and Company

Shakespeare and Company is one of the biggest tourist traps in Paris. Opened in 1951 by Parisian George Whitman, the present Shakespeare and Company is not the original location of this iconic bookstore. The most famous predecessor dates back to the 1920s and was renowned for hosting and publishing the works of literary masters such as James Joyce.

Furnished in perfect English style, Shakespeare and Company is the perfect spot to browse for first editions as well as attend workshops and talks with great writers.

The upcoming stop of the walking tour, Square René Viviani, is right next to Shakespeare and Company, and it is less than 1 minute on foot.

4. Square René Viviani

This lovely little square offers breathtaking views of Notre Dame Cathedral and is one of Paris’ most unique gardens.

It houses the oldest tree in the city, the Robinia Pseudoacacia , a locust tree over 400 years old! This astonishing tree was named after Jean Robina, the French botanist who planted it. There is also a (hidden) medieval well.

Square René Viviani is the perfect spot to relax in the shade of the Robinia while enjoying some French pastries and admiring the vistas. If you are visiting Paris in December , this square hosts one of the best Christmas Markets in Paris !

Walk to square René Viviani with the Seine River behind your back to get to the Church of Saint-Julien-le-Pauvre at the end of the square.

5. Church of Saint-Julien-le-Pauvre

One of the oldest churches in Paris, the construction of the Church of Saint Julien-le-Pauvre dates back to the 12th century on the site of a much older chapel.

Built in Romanesque style with elements of primary Gothic, the Church is an interesting building in the religious landscape of Paris, which is mostly made up of Gothic churches.

The site is granted to the Eastern Catholic Melkite community. Inside, don’t miss the iconostasis, built in 1900 by the Byzantine Rite, and the paving stones from the original Roman road connecting Lutetia (Paris) to Orléans.  

To reach the next stop, cross Rue du Petit Pont to get to Rue Saint-Julien le Pauvre. Walk this street for 1 minute, and you will find yourself in front of the Church of Saint-Severin.

TIP: Saint-Julien-le-Pauvre is known for its classical music concerts (Vivaldi, Bach, Mozart, etc.). You can buy tickets to the concerts here .

6. Church of Saint-Séverin

The Church of Saint-Séverin is an outstanding example of Gothic architecture. Listed as a historical monument of France since 1862, the construction of the Church of Saint-Séverin began in the 13th century and was completed only two centuries later.

Step inside and get ready to be mesmerized by the Gothic architecture, the stained-glass windows depicting the martyrdom of St. John the Baptist, and the particularly stunning Tree of Jesse.

Among the Church’s most interesting elements are the double ambulatory, the beautiful twisted column, and a well from the XVth century in the Chapel of the Virgin. It was said that its water could cure fever and certain skin diseases!

During your visit, don’t hesitate to take a tour of the garden (if it is open), which was used from the fifteenth century as a cemetery for Parisian notables.

From the church, proceed southwesterly on Rue des Prêtres Saint-Séverin toward Boulevard Saint-Germain. At this point, turn left on Rue de Cluny and then turn right on Pl. Paul Painlevé to get to the Cluny Museum’s entrance.

7. Cluny Museum

The Cluny Museum is hosted in a gothic-style private mansion that belonged to the Abbot of Cluny, hence the name. This museum displays medieval art and objects and is the perfect place to learn more about the Middle Ages’ culture. The best piece is the La Dame a la Licorne (The Lady and the Unicorn), a 15th-century series of medieval tapestries.

In the Museum’s basement, you can see some remains of Roman Paris , in particular, the thermal baths. There are also the original heads of the Kings of Judah from the façade of Notre Dame Cathedral (they were beheaded during the French Revolution).

To reach the historical building of the Sorbonne University, walk for 2 minutes on Place Paul Painlevé towards Rue du Sommerard.

8. Sorbonne University (Seat of the Rectorate)

The Latin Quarter owes its name to its academic history, so this next stop of the walking tour is a true must-do.

The Sorbonne University is one of the oldest universities in Europe and one of the most prestigious.

Opened in 1257 as part of the medieval Université de Paris, among Sorbonne University’s famous students are the Italian poet Dante Alighieri and scientist Marie Curie.

Take your time admiring the beautiful architecture of the university’s historical building while soaking up its intellectual atmosphere. Of its reconstruction under Richelieu, only the chapel, the work of Lemercier, remains. In 1822, it became the seat of the Rectorate and the Faculties of Letters and Sciences.

Proceed northwest on Rue des Écoles toward Rue de la Sorbonne. Turn slightly left and take Rue Racine. Once you get to Place Paul Claudel, you will find the Jardin du Luxembourg on your left at 150 meters.

9. Jardin du Luxembourg

At the outskirts of the Latin Quarter, connecting with the Saint-Germain-des-Prés neighborhood , is the stunning Jardin du Luxembourg .

One of the most popular gardens in Paris for locals and tourists alike, the Jardin du Luxembourg was established in 1612 by Marie de Médicis as an extension to the Luxembourg Palace.

This public park has it all: beautiful statues and tall trees. It is indeed the ideal spot for a picnic break in spring and summer.

The Jardin du Luxembourg also has pretty and romantic corners, like the Fontaine Médicis .

Up next for the Latin Quarter walking tour is the Panthéon. Proceed in an easterly direction toward Boulevard Saint-Michel. Walk straight for around 7 minutes, and you will arrive.

10. Panthéon

Built between 1758 and 1790 on the spot of the Roman Forum (main square), the Panthéon is one of the most famous buildings in Paris . In neoclassical style, the Panthéon was a church constructed by the will of King Louis XV.

It then became a mausoleum to pay tribute to great French citizens, including Victor Hugo, Voltaire, and Marie Curie.

The two distinctive features of the Panthéon are its off-white dome that can be accessed (from April to October) to marvel at breathtaking views of Paris and the giant pendulum that Foucault built to prove the rotation of the Earth.

Facing the Panthéon, take Place du Panthéon on your left. After a couple of minutes, you will get to Church Saint-Etienne-du-Mont.

11. Church Saint-Etienne-du-Mont 

A stunning building in Gothic flamboyant style, the Church Saint-Etienne-du-Mont is one of those spots in Paris that not many tourists know about.

Dedicated to the city’s patron saint, Saint-Geneviève, the church has the only remaining rood screen in Paris, featuring carved stone and a double spiral staircase.

Inside, the Church displays stunning stained glass windows and the glass tomb with the remains of the relics of Saint Geneviève, many of which were burned during the French Revolution.

Proceed in an easterly direction on Rue Clovis toward Rue Descartes. Take the first turn to the right to find yourself on Rue Descartes. Go straight for around 5 minutes, and you will be at Rue Mouffetard.

12. Rue Mouffetard

After walking and sightseeing a lot, a food stop is mandatory, and Rue Mouffetard is perfect for that. Strolling up and down Rue Mouffetard, you will find food stalls, chocolate shops, little restaurants, and eateries offering delicious takeaways.

Proceed north on Rue Mouffetard toward Rue du Pot de Fer, and in 250 meters, you will arrive at Place de la Contrescarpe.

13. Place de la Contrescarpe

Place de la Contrescarpe is one of the liveliest corners in the Latin Quarter. This charming little square is packed with bustling cafés frequented by local students and tourists, which are great places for a French apéritif and people-watching.

Place de la Contrescarpe was also one of Earnest Hemingway ‘s favorite hangout places in Paris, so much so that he mentioned it in his novels A Moveable Feast and The Sun Also Rises . Indeed, Hemingway lived not far from the square, on 74 Rue du Cardinal Lemoine.

Walk in an easterly direction on Rue Lacépède toward Rue Gracieuse. Take the first street to the left (Rue Monge), and you will see the Arènes de Lutèce on your right in about 150 meters.

14. Arènes de Lutèce

The Latin Quarter has many lesser-known attractions, including the Arènes de Lutèce . Built between the 1st and 2nd centuries CE, this arena of Roman Paris , which could seat up to 15,000 spectators, was used for gladiatorial fights and theatrical performances.

The arena has interesting architecture, mixing elements of classic Greek and features from the Roman provinces in Africa. Rediscovered in the 19th century after centuries of neglect, the Arènes de Lutèce is now a public space that occasionally hosts theatrical performances and concerts.

To get to the last stop of this Paris’ Latin Quarter walking tour, take Rue des Arènes, and in 150 meters, turn right on Rue Linné. Then, turn immediately left to take Rue Guy de la Brosse. When you reach the end of this street, turn right on Rue Jussieu, and you will see the Jardin des Plantes in front of you.

15. Jardin des Plantes

The last stop of this walking tour is the Jardin des Plantes . This is Paris’ royal botanical garden, built in the 17th century following the orders of King Louis XIII to cultivate medicinal plants.

Today, it is Paris’ botanical garden and one of France’s biggest and richest gardens!

The Jardin des Plantes also houses the National Museum of Natural History and the Ménagerie , the second-oldest public zoo in the world.

Last but not least, the Jardin des Plantes hosts the fantastic Festival of Lights in November and December, one of the best Christmas events in Paris .
