About le Marais district
Taking a few steps down the loud and very busy Rue de Rivoli is all it takes to find yourself in a new dimension and a new neighborhood: le Marais.
Here times seems to stop, and when going through the medieval streets you can still hear the echoes from the times of the Templars.
When looking at the 16th century houses and residences, it’s easy to imagine yourself as a French aristocrat arriving into the courtyard in a carriage… And for a short moment it will seem like a door is about to open, and Madame de Sévigné is about to walk out to welcome you.”
Meeting up
Olga, the enthusiastic Delicious Paris founder, will meet you and just a few others (maximum 6) outside the Metro: St Paul. She will be waiting for you near the Merry-Go-Round. Delicious Paris caters for small numbers at a time. In this way, the organisation is much lighter and it also creates a particularly pleasant, convivial atmosphere. From here on, it will be action as Olga will be raring to go and to take you on the unforgettable Delicious Paris experience.
Architecture
With each street turning, you will be shown many features of Parisian life, past and present and, little by little, you will begin to gain insights into the French, past and present.
You will learn why le Marais may be the best starting point for anyone who wants to grasp some fundamentals in Parisian architecture. You will learn Baron Haussmann’s rôle in the making of Paris the way it is today; what he did and perhaps, more importantly in this context, what he didn’t do! You will never see Paris the same way again but through different eyes and with greater awareness.
History
There will be moments during this Delicious Paris experience that will be exceptionally moving when you learn the links between this part of Paris and the Second World War. These events need to be always kept in our memory.
Miscellaneous gems
Small parks, statues, houses, stairwells, courtyards and even timber-framed buildings all add to the uniqueness of this event. Here will be an anecdote to put it all in context. They may make you laugh or smile, but you will certainly never be bored! You will not linger on any place for very long but just enough to allow you to add each gem to the whole picture through this travel in time.
To sum up
A unique experience for lovers of Paris and French life. You will have learnt so much more about the French art of savoir-vivre in this Delicious Paris experience. What’s more, you will have become a confirmed lover of French life !
La vie est belle à Paris !
