Charming neighborhood, off the beaten path. - Interstate, vibrant neighborhood dating back to Paris medieval times. Something a little off the standard tourist path. We had a great morning with our guide Jill Andrei, who knew the area and it's history in depth.

Tour with Jill - I had wonderful experience on a tour of Jewish quarter in the La Marais with Jill. I happened to be the only one on a tour that day, but Jill went above and beyond to make the experience both welcoming, personable and engaging. I was exploring la Marais on my own, but did not see 90% of hidden treasures that were pointed out by Jill. Also, Jill showed the utmost sensitivity and deep respect to Shoah that was deeply appreciated. I recommend tours with Jill for personalized, warm and welcoming experience.

Highlight of Visit - Great Guide, Jill, who was high energy, knowledgeable and fun. The subject matter was interesting but she gave it life. It was very cold but in spite of that she made the trip so meaningful that you forgot the cold. She even brought each of us a Christmas cookie.
