Hidden behind a grand 17th-century mansion, the Jardin de l’Hôtel de Sully offers a peaceful escape in the heart of the Marais. At this stop, we’ll step into this quiet courtyard garden, learn about the noble family who once lived here, and explore its connection to the nearby Place des Vosges.

I highly recommend this excellent food tour with Sherif. The food, the wines, the atmosphere, and all the insights along the way were exactly what a good food tour should be. Sherif is not only a knowledgeable and entertaining guide, but a true foodie, and I have never met a guide with such deep knowledge and passion for cheese. Alongside the food and wine, we learned a lot about the history of the Marais and French food culture, and also had interesting conversations about French politics and the restaurant sector in France. It was great fun, with lots of laughter — the food was excellent, and the wines and company were every bit as good. Sherif also pointed us toward a few lovely restaurants in the Marais to try the following day. Thank you for a great experience, we had so much fun!
