Delightful shops and cafes abound in the old Jewish quarter. A fabulous area to wander and explore.....artesian chocolate shops, spice shops, and lovely artisanal shops are located along it's narrow cobblestone streets. A lovely place to enjoy an afternoon!

Staying in the Marais was a good decision for us for this trip. The tour we had explained the history, which is rich and extremely interesting. It's a happening place, with literally thousands of restaurants, bars, creperies, tea rooms, etc. You never have to walk far for a cafe or glass of wine. Since we are in our 60s, we... More

The Marais seems to have everything to make a visit to Paris delightful. It has many nice shops and restaurants, is easy walking to some of Paris' top tourist sites like Le Louvre and Notre Dame, and has access to the famous and efficient Paris Metro to enable visits beyond comfortable walking distance.

This is a very beautiful rather upscale area of Paris. Made for a very pleasant walk. Lovely architecture as is much of Paris of course.

A quirky Right Bank neighborhood that's fun to walk around, and much less crowded than more famous districts like Montmartres. Tourists haven;t discovered Marais yet. Walk to Place Catherine and eat a one of its funky cafes.

We walked around Le Marais for an entire afternoon. The shops were wonderful and each one was more enticing than the last. We bought souvenirs for the family but best of all, we found some beautiful sweaters and clothing. We went home with French sweaters that gives us great memories of the shopping.

This is not the most well known place to see in Paris but this is charming especially if the weather permits. Stroll around the small streets. You are in the heartland of historical Paris with hidden gardens, art galleries... If you stay a full week in Paris, you have to go there (Picasso Museum...)/

Lunch food heaven. Try the Apple Strudel at "Florence Kahn boulangerie" after you eat one of their sandwiches on an onion roll. The Marais district is in a great location for getting to the Pompidou Museum and even over to Notre Dame. You'll need to walk off the food anyway.

great vibe . Lovely cafes. Good food & lovely shops too. Quite expensive but worth it . Fascinating area to visit
