About this quest

A favourite of Parisians, Le Marais is one of the most upscale districts of Paris, with its ancient cobbled streets rich with secrets and medieval history. The area is a cultural hub of diversity, from the Jewish population that’s been there since the middle ages to the LGBTQ community adding life into the city.

Take a journey through Le Marais to uncover its hidden gems, and discover what makes this one of the best spots to experience life in Paris.

Highlights

  • Shop, eat and enjoy Paris the way Parisians do.

  • Learn about France’s dark and sombre past surrounding the Holocaust.

  • Experience Paris in the medieval ages, including one of the city’s last remaining medieval-era mansions with striking Gothic and Renaissance influence.

  • Discover the quaint neighbourhood where Victor Hugo lived as a writer, and the magnificent church he wrote about in Les Misérables.

The mission: Your story in Paris

You are Newton. You don’t know how you got here!

You are a scientist in London, living a secret life as an alchemist: trying to perfect the science of turning base metal into gold. Last memory you have is of falling asleep under a tree in a garden, after a hard night’s work in your laboratory.

Next thing you know, you are here in this mysterious place with a note. The people here are wearing strange clothes, and iron horses are running on the roads! Confused, you proceed to read the note.
