From the tour
11 photosThe Story Behind the Flame
Le Marais runs on sugar. Award-winning pâtisseries next to bakeries that have been here longer than the neighbourhood was fashionable, celebrity chef shops tucked into the Jewish quarter, and the kind of chocolate people fly in for.
Three hours, seven sweet stops, and a walk through a quarter that's part history, part contradiction, and entirely worth the calories. Family-friendly, dairy-based, and adaptable for kosher-style or vegetarian guests with notice.
"The best spice in any dish is the story of the hands that made it."
