See the playground for Paris’s most trendy – the crooked, cobbled, historical lanes that are alive with bars, restaurants, vintage shops, and jewelry boutiques. But there’s more to Le Marais than gorgeous “I-woke-up-like-this” locals queuing for pita at L'As du Fallafel. With your host to lead the way, you’ll explore its thriving art scene at upmarket galleries, amble through Musée Picasso, and visit iconic sites like Rue de Montmorency, where Nicolas Flamel’s house – the oldest in Paris – stands. Stumble across the district’s hidden secrets, like the utterly picturesque Passage de l’Ancre, where a quaint boutique sells umbrellas and walking sticks, and relax with a coffee or a glass of wine at a classic bistro. Très chic.

As the city’s artistic neighborhood for centuries, perhaps you’ll discover the square where Picasso once painted, or visit Espace Dali, an eclectic collection of the artist’s quirky sculptures. Your host wouldn’t let you miss visiting the Sacré-Coeur, the stunning basilica which watches over the neighborhood, but they’ll also take you further north into Clignancourt, an overlooked area that’s home to delicious street eats and the Marché aux puces where you could while away hours browsing antique treasures. Take in the sweeping views of the whole city or sink into a chair in a classic Parisian cafe and indulge in the art of the flâneur - people watching.

There’s always charming Le Marais, or perhaps head west for the ultimate view of the Eiffel Tower lit up in all its glory.
