First, Ewan was wonderful. His knowledge of the area, it's history, his passion for his planning a tour specific to our requested interests were spot on. He was pleasant to be with and had a good sense of humor!

Having a guide take you around is a great way to ensure you don’t miss out on some of the key highlights in and around the area! Del was very friendly, went with the flow of what our kids were interested in and ensured we all got to see the things we hand in mind! It’s definitely a place you can explore for longer than 3 hours, especially if you choose to get your portraits done! :)

Our guide was remarkably knowledgeable about the history, architecture and culture of Le Marais. She reached out before the trip to find out our personal interests and designed the tour around those interests.

What you’ll do

In a city known for its tightly-packed streets and fairytale architecture, do something a little unexpected: follow your local insider off the beaten track to laid-back Batignolles. An excursion through this quirky, village-esque district will show you a side of modern Paris you didn’t even know existed. There’s Art42, France’s first museum dedicated to street art, hearty Senegalese stews served at open-air organic markets, and the Place de Clichy – a lively intersection where you’ll swivel your head between giant cinema billboards. Ready to come down from the buzz? There’s nothing pretentious about a Batignolles bar, and a relaxing glass of wine and a small plate of charcuterie shared with your host is the perfect way to end the day.
