Place des Vosges walks
Walk in the Marais
This is an immersion in a historic district of Paris that was largely untouched by Haussmann's urban renewal and has retained many narrow streets, with architecture still dominated by 17th-century mansions. The suggested itinerary winds its way through narrow streets and gardens, allowing you to discover a rich heritage, including the Carreau du Temple, the Hôtel du Grand Veneur, the gardens of the National Archives, the Place des Vosges and the Hôtel Sully.
From the Louvre to the Bastille via the Tour Saint-Jacques
An urban route steeped in history, where 16th- and 17th-century buildings stand alongside modern architecture. This is how you will go from the Palais Royal to the Forum des Halles, from the Church of Saint-Eustache to the Centre Beaubourg, and from the Tour Saint-Jacques to the Opéra Bastille. The itinerary winds its way through streets, alleys, passageways and gardens, offering visitors the chance to discover a rich and diverse heritage.
The wildlife of Les Halles and Le Marais
Discover numerous animal representations in the first arrondissements of Paris. The lively Les Halles district has seen modern architectural creations replace the former "belly of Paris". The Marais district still features many mansions built in the 17th century.
On the French Revolution routes in the heart of Paris
An urban circular walk in search of the French Revolution routes in two Parisian sites: the Bastille, whose capture had a very strong symbolic impact, and the Odéon suburb, where several key figures of the period lived, worked and gathered, including Marat and Danton. It's also an opportunity to discover the signs of other insurrectionary episodes (July 1830, May 1968) and a superb heritage ranging from the Gallo-Roman to the Middle Ages period.
A timeless stroll through the hidden corners of the Marais
A short walk through the Marais, which may take a little longer for a photographer… A detour via the National Archives (Hôtel de Soubise and its gardens) is possible, and indeed recommended. However, some parts of the gardens will be closed in 2025 due to building works.

In the footsteps of the French Revolution
Here are four hikes that take in iconic locations from the French Revolution. One of them takes place in Versailles, where it all began in May 1789. Another takes place in Paris, which was the scene of many events, including the storming of the Bastille on 14 July 1789. The other two connect Paris to Versailles, attempting to reproduce the women's march of 5 October 1789.
