About Le Marais

Le Marais, the old narrow streets, barely wide enough for a car, navigate through 400 years of 17th century Paris. This is the oldest neighborhood of Paris, created from ancient swamp lands. It is now a mélange of hip boutiques along the Rue des Francs Bourgeois, the Jewish ghetto of the rue des Rossiers that dates back to the 13th century and some of the trendiest cafes, brasseries and restaurants of all Paris.

Le Marais, the oldest section of Paris, is a treasure of Renaissance architecture. It is home to the Musée Carnavalet, Musée Cognacq-Jay, The Archives, Hotel Sully, and one of the grandest old squares in all of Paris, the Place des Vosges. This square is a masterpiece of brick facades and harmonious stone arches.

In Le Marais one can find cafes, restaurants, grocery stores, bakeries, boutiques, art galleries and museums, all within minutes of the apartments.

The Apartments are a 3 minute walk from the Place des Vosges, 5 minutes to the Bastille and the outdoor market on rue Richard Lenoir, 5 minutes to the Picasso Museum, 15 minutes to the Notre Dame and 20 minutes to the Louvre. And, we are just a few minutes from the trendy boutiques along the rue Francs Bourgeoise.

These days, Le Marais has once again become the most desireable address in Paris. After one visit you will understand. It's quite different from the grand boulevards of Paris.
