Marais

2hrs 1-20 visitors 240-420€

Favorite district of the aristocrats of the 16th and 17th centuries, the Marais offers beautiful examples of the "hôtels particuliers", the fancy private homes of the French elite of the time. It is rich in history with the site of the monastery of the famous Templars, a wall that bears witness to the centuries long rivalry with England, royal displays of power and testimonies of revolutionist violence.

The Marais is also attractive because of its rich social fabric as it is the neighborhood of a Jewish community, an LBGTQ+ community, as well as home to a vibrant art and fashion scene.

Visiting the Marais means enjoying some of the most beautiful private architecture of Paris, as well as experiencing the French hipster "art de vivre".
