Marais - Paris Mecca for contemporary art
The Marais is a vibrant quartier dating from the 1600s, and is home to many brilliant Parisian and international galleries, museums, boutiques and restaurants.
Your visit will take you to large, contemporary art spaces and hard-to-find courtyard galleries.
Expect to be amazed by the work of very talented artists, in solo or collective shows, presented in the beautiful spaces of international mega-galleries as well as French local ones.
Along the way, we'll fill you in on the history and architecture of the neighbourhood. And no day in the Marais would be complete without a little café-hopping, lunch-stopping, window-shopping... by the end of the day, you'll know the Marais like a local.
Exhibitions are changing every 1,5 month and there are more than 30 galleries in the area - so each tour is unique ! You can repeat this visit and see different artists and places…
