Hours, prices and access verified by the Le Marais Paris Tours team — last checked 2026-09-20.
Le Marais has no entrance, so the place your tour meets is the one
address that matters. Four operators meet at the same metro station at four different
spots, and a guide waiting at one will not see you at another. Here is where the
Le Marais tours start, where they finish, and the metro for each.
Four operators, one metro station
Saint-Paul metro, on line 1, comes up on the Rue Saint-Antoine. That is where most
walks meet. The station has more than one exit, and each operator stands at a different
spot, so read the address in your confirmation, not the pin on a map.

The Eating Europe walk meets further east, at 10 Rue Saint-Antoine, by the benches
towards the Bastille. The guide carries a purple bag.
Arrive ten minutes before your start. The Secret Food Tours guide holds up an orange
umbrella, and the Babylon guide waits at the exit on the far side from the stairs. Babylon
also asks for your mobile number with the country code when you book, so a guide can
call you if you cannot find each other. From any of these spots, the Place des Vosges is
a few minutes' walk north-east, and the Rue des Rosiers a few minutes north.
The Ile Saint-Louis start
Both Do Eat Better full-meal walks meet on the Place Louis Aragon, at the western tip
of the Ile Saint-Louis on the Quai de Bourbon. Pont Marie, on line 7, is the nearest metro.
The walk starts with tastings on the island, then crosses the river into the Marais on
foot.
Find it by the written address. A traveler on a full-meal walk in July 2026 arrived
late because the booking app's pin did not match the Place Louis Aragon. Allow ten
minutes to walk to the tip of the island.
The Haut-Marais starts
These walks start inside the quarter, away from Saint-Paul:
40 Rue de Bretagne: the Original Food Tours walk, beside the
Marché des Enfants Rouges. Filles du Calvaire is the nearest metro.
The Rue des Rosiers: the NO DIET CLUB walk, outside the Yann
Couvreur patisserie on the street itself.
The Place des Vosges: the four-hour Jewish history walk, at the
statue of Louis XIII in the middle of the garden.
Starts outside the quarter
Some walks start on the edges, or well outside the Marais:
The Place de la République: the walk with small tastings, in front of
a burger restaurant on the square.
123 Rue Saint-Martin: the Intrepid walk, opposite the Centre
Pompidou. The Pompidou is closed until 2030, and the walk does not go in.
Saint-Sulpice: the walk from Saint-Germain, at the church stairs on
the Left Bank.
The Fontaine Saint-Michel: the Blue Bike ride. Arrive fifteen minutes
early.
24 Rue Edgar Faure, in the 15th: the Fat Tire bike office, near
Dupleix metro.
21 Rue des Petits Carreaux: the express option of one Secret Food
Tours listing, which stays near the Louvre and never enters the Marais.
The private custom day meets you at your hotel, or any address in central Paris.
Where the tours finish
A walk rarely ends where it began. Plan what comes next from the finish, not the
start:

The ninety-minute history walk
Finishing on the Place des Vosges puts you at the Maison de Victor Hugo's door, and
its permanent collections are free. The Musée Picasso finish puts you at a museum, if you
have a ticket. A finish on the Rue de Rivoli or the Rue du Pont Louis-Philippe leaves you
by the river, a short walk from the Hôtel de Ville and the Ile Saint-Louis. The Bastille
finish puts three metro lines at your feet.
Metro stations
Every start in the quarter is a short walk from a metro exit, and none promises
parking. One listing gives 125 Rue Saint-Antoine as an address for drivers.

south-west of it on the Rue Saint-Antoine, and the Rue des Rosiers between the two.
Questions about meeting points
Where do Le Marais tours meet?
Most meet at Saint-Paul metro on line 1, at four different spots. Others meet at the Place Louis Aragon on the Ile Saint-Louis, by the covered market on the Rue de Bretagne, on the Rue des Rosiers or at the Place de la République.
Which exit of Saint-Paul metro should I use?
It depends on your operator. Secret Food Tours waits by the merry-go-round at 133 Rue Saint-Antoine, and LivTours at the bakery at number 129. Babylon uses the Rue du Prévôt exit, opposite the stairs.
Where is the Place Louis Aragon?
At the western tip of the Ile Saint-Louis, on the Quai de Bourbon. Pont Marie on line 7 is the nearest metro.
Where do the bike tours start?
Outside the Marais. Blue Bike meets at the Fontaine Saint-Michel on the Left Bank, and Fat Tire at its office at 24 Rue Edgar Faure in the 15th, near Dupleix metro.
Where these facts come from
Every address, every landmark to look for, and every finish is from the listing that
sells the walk, captured 20 September 2026. The traveler who was late is from a July 2026
review on the full-meal walk's own page. Metro lines are the RATP network as it runs today.
Three hours from Saint-Sulpice on the Left Bank, over the Pont Neuf and into the Marais for its last hour or so. Seven people at most, and the city's layout explained on foot.
Three and a half hours and 12 km by bike across Paris, from the operator's office in the 15th near Dupleix metro. The Marais is a twenty-minute stop, rain gear is sold at the office, and snacks are your own.
Four hours by bike from Place Saint-Michel: the Latin Quarter first, then about an hour in the Marais. Child seats and tandems are booked with the ride, and lunch is your own.
