Once home to the French aristocracy, Le Marais has lost none of its nobility over the years. Today, this district in the 3rd and 4th arrondissements remains the jewel in the crown of Parisian history, culture and the arts. Popular with artists, designers and fashion fans alike, the hidden courtyards and narrow cobbled lanes of Le Marais are full of shops and galleries. In the busy streets around the old Temple, secondhand stores rub shoulders with high-end fashion boutiques and historic hotels, bringing an eclectic and bohemian buzz to the area. Avant-garde and fashionable, Le Marais is a high-octane corner of Paris that combines the most beautiful aspects of the city with the edgy and cool.
