Treasure hunt package (Marais, 8+)
15,00€
This treasure hunt guides you through one of the most interesting Parisian neighborhoods, featuring buildings and artifacts from the Roman era and the Middle Ages, through the baroque and classical eras, up the present with fun examples of contemporary street art.
This is an entertaining hunt for both parents and children. It includes most of the Parisian symbols and a few bits of history, and is a great way to start exploring the city even if it’s your first visit to Paris.
About Le Marais : from its origin as an aristocratic neighborhood back in the 17th century, Le Marais became a more popular Jewish neighborhood until World War II, and is today one of the trendiest areas in Paris, with lovely shops and cafés as well as several great museums.
- Where and when: The hunt starts at the Saint-Paul subway station and lasts about 1.5 – 2 hours. Please note that some points of interest are closed after 7PM and that the neighborhood may be too crowded on Saturday and Sunday afternoons. All shops and cafés are open on Sundays.
Age group: The hunt is suitable for children between ages 8 and 15 (the hunt will be ideal for a 12 year old; a 14 year old will do it faster, while a 8 year old will be able to do the hunt using your help and hints for the most difficult questions). If you are going treasure hunting with children under 8, some questions may be answered by parents or teenagers (a friend of ours did it with kids aged 7 and 5).
Combine it with: Depending on how tired or curious you are, you can combine this hunt with:
- A visit to the Picasso museum
- A visit to Beaubourg (Centre Pompidou) museum (check out its Galerie des enfants that hosts exhibits and activities for children and teens)
- A lunch or tea at the café of the Swedish Institute (summer terrace), or at the Florence Kahn ashkenazi bakery (heated terrace); both are family-friendly
- A picnic in one of the nearby gardens (both L’As du Fallafel and Miznon offer delicious take away dishes and drinks): le jardin des Rosiers (you’ll stumble upon it during the hunt) or the garden on rue Payenne, in front of the Swedish Institute.
- If you have a toddler with you, don’t miss the carrousel in front of the Saint-Paul subway station
