The Marais
Take a stroll through one of Paris' oldest districts. See the medieval Hotel des Sens and the Place des Vosges, a magnificent square that illustrates the importance of parks in Parisian life for over 400 years. The Marais is a charming district full of passageways, private mansions, and narrow streets bursting with fashionable boutiques, galleries, and restaurants. It is also a well-known Jewish community.

Fun Facts

• Marais means "marsh" in French


• The historic site of the Marais is under strict preservation laws, so when shops are sold and changed, the names sometimes remain the same, so the "bakery" might actually be selling shoes.
