Parisian elegance, past and present
Le Marais is a historic neighbourhood in an area known as Paris Central. It was built over marshland, and today, Le Marais has evolved into one of the most beautiful parts of Paris.
While Paris is known for its wide, tree-lined boulevards, Le Marais is a labyrinth of winding cobblestone streets jam-packed with tiny boutiques and hole-in-the-wall bistros. It gives a nostalgic glimpse into pre-Napoleon Paris before the modernisation of the historic mediaeval cityscape.
Beyond its old-world charm, Le Marais is a hub of creativity and diversity, attracting artists and entrepreneurs who are shaping the future of the district. There’s a strong community here, with many feeling that Le Marais is its own independent village rather than part of Paris.
The beauty of Le Marais is that there’s so much to discover. Peek down the narrow alleys and around quiet corners to uncover hidden courtyards and secret gardens. Spend some time exploring the tranquil squares and sleepy passages away from the everyday hustle.
