THE MARAIS
Welcome in Heart of Paris
The Marais district is a former swamp (hence its name), occupied as of the12th century by religious orders. Starting from the 17th Century, the Parisian nobility settled there following the construction of the Place des Vosges.
Several communities have been formed over the years: Jewish, Chinese and art (large number of art galleries).
The Marais consists of many mansions, it has managed to preserve its narrow streets and ancient architecture, which makes its charm today.
