What to expect
Your guide will steer you away from the crowded market hall into quieter backstreets lined with independent boutiques and period architecture. Expect to pause frequently—not just for the three planned treats (hot chocolate, street food, macarons), but to hear anecdotes about the dancers, musicians, and performers who've worked in the neighbourhood's theatres. The walk finishes in an old-school pub where you can sit and absorb the atmosphere with a proper drink. It's leisurely rather than rushed; you're moving at a conversational pace, stopping often to explore courtyards and absorb the character of each street.
Good to know
The route involves cobbled surfaces and some climbing; unsuitable for those with serious heart conditions. Prams and strollers are fine on most stretches. Public transport stops nearby make access straightforward. Bring comfortable shoes. Service animals welcome.
