What to expect
Your guide meets you at the square and walks you through Le Marais's interlocking streets, stopping to discuss the district's medieval foundations and Jewish heritage. At the covered market, you'll taste what locals actually buy—cured meats, fresh produce, pastries. You'll then grab a beverage from a café and continue on foot, pausing at key sites before arriving at Picasso's former studio space, now a museum. The pace is steady, stopping frequently to chat and eat.
