And Tip-Supported
Live stream event from Paris, with Patrick H.: University Teacher. Licensed Tour Guide in Paris and in France.
The name “Marais” (maresc in medieval Latin) means swamp, because this part of Paris was swampy until the Middle Ages. Then the area was converted into farmland by the construction of irrigation canals and extensive urban projects that changed the Marais forever, when Paris developed in the early 1600s.
The Marais d’aujourd’hui is one of the most colourful and lively districts of Paris. It is known for its art shops and workshops, creative and elegant boutiques, charming bars and restaurants, LGBT-friendly character and, last but not least, its Jewish community. But during our visit we will focus on the historic Marais that of the renaissance to the revolution with among others the Place des Vosges, one of the magical corners of Paris. Four centuries ago, it represented a new era in Paris as the planned first place. It is a perfectly symmetrical square around which glamorous red brick and white stone houses line up.

My name is Patrick. I am Parisian, although I come from a family from Britanny (from the Côtes d’Armor). I have been passionate about my city for several years and I love to help people discover it. I have this need to share, perhaps this is the logical continuation of being a father and also a teacher in university. During the first part of my life I travelled the world, I loved it and I was grateful to all those friends who made me discover their country. Today I am making the same thing happen by taking people on a tour of my city. I love history, so you won’t escape a historical contextualization during your visit, I love architecture, so I will introduce you to our monuments and architectural styles, I love art, so let’s find it everywhere it is, in museums, but also in the street, I love our gastronomy and our art of living, so I will make you discover all my good spots.
