Paris - Free Self-Guided Audio Tour

This walk threads the Marais like a tapestry: from the hum of the Jewish Quarter to the hush of noble courtyards and salons, past memory houses and intimate museums to the playful boldness of modern art. The district shifts block by block—bakeries and falafel stands, arcaded squares, small collections and street art—until the skyline opens around Pompidou. Surfaces are mostly level with patches of cobblestone; wear comfortable shoes. Come early or late afternoon to sidestep crowds near Rue des Rosiers and Place des Vosges. Check opening days and timed tickets for museums (many close Monday or Tuesday). Convenient metro access makes joining or exiting easy.
