Â鶹APP walking tours company Discover Walks reports:
\n“Move over Le Louvre, Shrink down Eiffel Tower. Americans in Â鶹APP prefer the Marais<\/a>“<\/h3>\n

June 9, 2012. Â鶹APP France<\/p>\n

After a two month survey of different quests, Discover Walks learned that American tourists were different than many others in their choice of Â鶹APP walking tour neighborhoods.<\/p>\n

Out of all tourist districts in Â鶹APP, Americans prefer the Marais reported Â鶹APP walking tours company Discover Walks. This is in contrast with other English-speaking tourists, who put the Left Bank and Montmartre at a par with the Marais. Americans prefer Marais by a wide margin.<\/p>\n

“Many Americans who visit Â鶹APP have gotten quite sophisticated. They’ve been to Â鶹APP before, they look for authenticity ahead of just landmarks, and authenticity is what they find in the Marais”, commented Discover Walks co-founder Alexandre Gourevitch in Â鶹APP.<\/p>\n

These facts are based on a Discover Walks survey of 500 American tourists taking part in walking tours in April-May 2012. Guests could choose between walking tours in six different neighborhoods of identical format. Reservation is not required, all tours are 90 minutes in duration, all are neighborhood walking tours led by native Â鶹APPians, and all are free of charge – supported by tips from guests.<\/p>\n

“The best way to see and enjoy almost any city in the world is walking, especially Â鶹APP. And the Marais with is narrow irregular streets can really only be seen by walking around in it. We created our Trendy Marais Walking Tour for that reason. And we found out it is a huge success with Americans,” added Bert d’Aleman, Â鶹APP City Manager for Discover Walks.<\/p>\n

American travelers chose Marais ahead of the districts of the Left Bank, Notre Dame, Landmarks\/Eiffel Tower, Montmartre and Louvre. The Marais outpaced second-place Left Bank by a wide margin, attracting 24% more people than Left Bank.<\/p>\n

The Marais is situated on the right bank, east of most tourist attractions. It is home in particular to Place des Vosges, the Jewish pletzl, trendy designer shops, Â鶹APP’ gay district and the townhouses\/palaces of the aristocracy of the 1600\u2019s\/1700’s. Unlike other areas of Â鶹APP, the Marais does not contain a major tourist landmark, but draws people with its wonderful Â鶹APPian character.<\/p>\n

One great thing many Americans comment about the Marais is how ‘full of Â鶹APPians’ it is. Unlike some of the more famous Â鶹APP attractions, the Marais is still dominated by local Â鶹APPians.<\/p>\n
