This is a private exploration of the vestiges of ‘ancient Paris’ - the metropolis as it was during the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, dotted with concealed castles, stately renaissance estates & Baroque homes, medieval wooden structures, secluded courtyards tucked behind carriage entrances, delightful squares & public water features.
Delve into the city’s past, its diverse architectural and cultural heritage, through thoroughly researched narratives prepared by a historian. Understand how the city underwent a revolution (1853-1870) from a densely populated labyrinth of medieval lanes to a contemporary urban landscape with wide boulevards, civic spaces & parks, trees….and the world’s inaugural infrastructure of gas illumination.
You will also experientially comprehend the distinctions between Gothic and Baroque architectural & artistic styles. By exploring the estates & ecclesiastical structures of the Marais, we will witness the shift from Medieval Gothic to Renaissance Baroque architecture and uncover the vibrant history (and current status) of this picturesque and fashionable district.
We extend a warm welcome to business and educational groups.
