A wonderful square to visit and stay with for a lunch-packet's time. Victor Hugo's appartment in the south-east-corner is worth a visit.

If you made it here, you might as well peek into Victor Hugo's house in one of the corners - especially in Winter to warm up a bit...

Besides feeling like you are in a movie when walking around you can also just chill at the park after a nice day of shopping in the Marais. You might get turned off by all the tourists but it's still worth visiting.

We stayed at this hotel for 5 nights, our room # 56 was very clean and quiet. The management staff were very helpful, provided us with coffee on our arrival, really nice as we had just arrived after a 10 hour flight. We were also provided with a tray, kettle and cups which was lovely for coffee in the am.... More

Due to the significant work going on here at the moment the place has lost much of its charm. I am sure once the work is over it will be worth visiting again. For the moment, more interesting places to be.

From the iPad mural overlooking the Park, many shops are now closed. This has a history but looks tired in spite of it all.

Secret garden in the middle of Marais, nice park surrounded by incredible nice houses with long corridors, next to Hugo's house. Lovely place!

Beautiful park square surrounded by great buildings. Nice place to lie down in the grass and relax. Shops and restaurants line the square. Great little spot!

Place des Vosges is a great place to walk around. The square is a nice relaxing place to sit and read surrounded by lots of cafes and galleries right in Le Marais with tons of shops to visit as well.

My biggest tip here is to go early in the morning on a Sunday. When I visited, the entire Place was completely empty, I was the only person there (about 7.30am). I sat and read about Louis' games he would play, and just imagined what it would have been like centuries ago. The 'apartements' around the Place are just beautiful.... More
