Discover the world’s most famous and controversial building, a museum of modern and contemporary art known as the "Notre Dame of Pipes" on a tour of the Pompidou Centre in central Paris. We explore the building that is arguably an artefact more representative of modern and contemporary art than any of the works of art usually hosted inside. IMPORTANT NOTICE - Until 2030, the Pompidou center will be closed for reconstruction and its collection will not be available. We focus on the building itself, and on the statues around the museum.

Marais semi private walking tour

This is a unique opportunity to learn about one of most important, layered, historically diverse and, in the last couple of decades, chic areas of Paris. We go through different stages of development of Marais, not leaving anything behind. On this visit, you will learn about the Jewish community and the Knights Templar; about the time when Marais was a fashionable neighborhood for opulent, yet restrained and elegant aristocratic abodes; when it fell from grace and was a working class, often dangerous place to be; how it was embellished, gentrified and how ultimately rose back to prominence. Not to leave anything out, you will also learn why it is one of most popular parts of the city for the Parisians too, not just for the tourists.
