The Marais is one of Paris's most emblematic and captivating districts. Nestling between the Seine and Place de la République, it is a harmonious blend of history, art and style. A former aristocratic district, its cobbled streets lined with private mansions conceal secret courtyards, cutting-edge art galleries, concept stores and charming cafés. You'll meet strollers and stylish Parisians alike, in an atmosphere that's both lively and intimate. The Marais lives to the rhythm of its markets, its independent bookshops and its ever-full terraces. It's also a hotbed of diversity, expression and freedom, with a great deal of creative energy. The Place des Vosges, an architectural gem, offers a haven of calm right in the heart of the district. A stay here is a taste of the vibrant, refined, authentic Paris that you discover as you walk along, and inevitably fall in love with.
