Tour of Marais neighborhood

We arrived to Paris on Friday afternoon, and after napping (me) and working (Igor), we went to our first milonga which was in a nice studio ballroom, but the level of dancers was unimpressive, and we didn’t stay very late. On Saturday morning, despite the jet lag, we embarked on two (!!) 2+ hours each VoiceMap tours. The first one was of Marais neighborhood. Part of it used to be Jewish area with many nice falafel restaurants and large 15th century mansions that now are government buildings. They are called hotels particulaires because hotels is basically any building and particulaire means private. We walked through some beautiful small parks and even stopped by at a public library that features a lot of very old books, many of which are easily accessible. We then had our first of upcoming many buckwheat Brittany type savory crepe (finishing with the sweet crepe)! The highly rated cafe Breizh has several locations (a spoiler - we visited all of them! 🙈)Baca lagi
