Margo Bayer is from Los Angeles and had a quick stopover in Paris in mid-October after visiting Israel. She had a wonderful curiosity about Paris and was fascinated with the Marais. We had the most delightful time exploring the southern side of the Marais between the Seine and rue St. Antoine/rue de Rivoli, the part of the Marais most people never see. Highlights of our tour included the Shoah Holocaust Museum, the Village St. Paul with its hidden courtyards and antique shops, the narrow windy streets with architectural surprises, and the gorgeous former private mansions dating from the 1500 & 1600s. Her photos capture the true essence of my of my Marais tours.
