Welcome to the Marais!
The Marais is a very central district in Paris, fascinating and rich in history. Once poor and insalubrious, it is now upmarket and multicultural. The Marais fascinates with its many facets: medieval remains, the Jewish memory of Paris, the Chinese community of Wenzhou, the oldest Chinese community in Paris, the aristocratic prestigious private mansions in the Marais and the cheerfully gay district.
The oldest square in Paris, the Place des Vosges, is right at the heart of the Marais, where duels used to be fought. Today, the equestrian statue of Louis XIII stands at its center, a reminder of its past as a Place Royale.
Let's also explore the architectural gems of Christianity in the Marais, such as the Saint-Gervais-Saint-Protais church or the Saint-Paul-Saint-Louis church and Judaism, such as Synagogue des Tournelles and Synagogue Agoudas Hakehilos on rue Pavée.
