**Guidekin's take:** Walk from the Latin Quarter to the Marais, exploring five Paris areas through their landmarks and local culture. A guided walk is included; the activity is not recommended for pregnant travelers or those with poor cardiovascular health. 4.98 from 187 reviews at €81 per person for 3h.

In our comparison: #10 of 54 in Walking Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (table below).

## Overview

See the 5 important areas of the city uniquely, you will be guided through historical landmarks, and learn more about the French culture, a patchwork of local communities and customs, its art, exquisite food, and its fashion. Our walk will start at the Latin Quarter and end in the Marais, the old Marshland area. Of course, we will also be able to get a taste of the French traditional delicatessens. Usually takes 3.5 hours, avoid the crazy traffic and be safe.
Saint-Germain-des-Pres is known for the literary and artistic celebrities who lived and worked there. A charming neighborhood, with the Church of Saint-Sulpice built in the 17th century, with foundations from the 12th century.
Ile Saint-Louis and the Ile de la Cite in the heart of Paris have some of the finest monuments. The Cathedral of Notre-Dame de Paris is one of them. Narrow cobblestone and elegant architecture. 
We will end our tour by visiting the Marais district with many communities, and the Place des Vosges.
