LE MARAIS AND WORLD WAR II

On this tour, we'll explore one of Paris's oldest and most cosmopolitan neighborhoods in Europe: Le Marais, home to the largest Jewish community on the continent and the French capital's gay neighborhood.

Above all, we'll remember the importance of understanding our history as a tool for peace.
