Free tour from Le Marais to the Bastille

We wonder why no one brings tourists to this place.

Why only true Parisians enjoy that medieval Paris that still exists. That medieval Paris with narrow streets, dead-end routes at first glance that lead to little-known temples, secret passages, squares and gardens of the former Kingdom of the Franks and a prison that, although no one could see it, everyone knows it.

You want to enter that secret Paris, from when it was not yet the city of light but the opposite. Well, welcome to this free tour of the "Le Marais" neighborhood.

What will we do during the tour?

• We are going to start at Place Pierre-Kauffmann, to visit an old street known as Rue des Bars, we will stop in front of what was the house of the former nuns, Daughters of the Cross.
• We continue on our way to the Shoah Memorial, the first Jewish documentation center. We will see the still moving story of Jewish persecution during the Second World War, in Paris.
• Then we changed the subject, we headed to the gardens of the Hotel de Sens. Let's talk about that medieval palace where Queen Margot lived. Who was this queen?
• Of course we will see the main access to the palace and see if you discover on its façade a date engraved in such graffiti at the end of 3 bloody nights.
• Then enter the town of San Paul with us. Yes, as you hear it, a town inside Paris . How is it possible, we will tell you there.
• And it was time to do magic. We have the challenge of entering a dead end and leaving it without turning around . WHAT CRAZY 🤣.
• Then they will open the doors of a palace to us: the Sully Hotel allows tour members to access its interior and gardens, under one condition, we cannot go back once inside, we have to find another exit.
• Ready to go? You will be surprised by the place it takes us to. A royal square and from it to another square, we arrive at the Bastille.

These are just some clues of what we will do on this almost 2-hour tour where there is no time for anything other than marveling.
