Description

🥵 Hot Summer! We'll stay in the shade

Paris has 2,000 years of history and most visitors never see it. It's not in the museums, it's hidden in the streets.

We're a small team of Parisians who created this Paris Time Machine to take you one street away from the crowds, into the historic heart of the city ❤️

You'll discover:

⚔️ Cannonball and bullet marks from revolutions still visible on the walls
👑 The people who shaped Paris: WWII resistance fighters, revolutionaries, kings and emperors
⛪ Beautiful churches, hidden gardens, and medieval houses

Understanding Paris today

🌆 From the fire of Notre-Dame to street protests, discover how Paris keeps transforming
🎨 Look up! Street art is everywhere in Le Marais!

We'll share our favourite spots:

🍽️ Restaurants 🍷 Bars 📍 Hidden corners
