The Marais is our favourite quartier . Much of the
area dates from the 16th and 17thC, featuring narrow
streets, fine architecture, boutiques, antique shops, restaurants, cafés.
Strict building laws protect its authenticity. This is where Parisians chose to
wander on weekends ! The centrepiece is, of course, the Place des Vosges,
the purest example of 17thC architecture, its arcaded façade set
around a central park with trees and benches - great for a picnic lunch !
Easy walking distance to the Picasso and Carnavalet Museums, Bastille Opera,
Ile St Louis, Notre Dame, Ile de la Cité and much more ! Just 5 mins walk
on the rue St Antoine you will the best specialist food shops (baker,
deli, cheese, fish, wine ...) . in the very best French tradition as well as an
excellent supermarket.
Just a step to the north of the Place des Vosges, on a
quiet picturesque street, this building dates from around 1750. Set around an
enchanting wide cobbled courtyard with a central flower-filled fountain and
various tubs of shrubs. Our first floor apartment is light and sunny overlooking
the courtyard. Both building and stairwell, have been fully renovated in 2008 !
