Originally the jewish quarter, this area reminds me much of Soho in New York city. Extremely eclectic with high end shops and original boutiques. Also you may trip over one of the most famous falafel shops in Paris. Just ask, where it is, you won't regret it. Bon Apetit.

Our hotel was on Champs-Elysees which is a very touristy area. So, the day we ventured into the Marais district we were pleasantly happy! This seemed to be more of a local atmosphere although filled with many boutiques. This area had the best shopping in Paris...and the reason I say best is because the boutiques had some really cute clothes... More

What to say about Marais? Perfect for walking, taking small shopping-trips or just a little drink. Place des Vosges is a beauty, the handsome - and gay, Louis XIII is still sitting on his horse.

My absolute favorite when it comes to Paris. Our guide was a local from here so she explained us the real parisian vibe through the streets of the magnificent gay jewish quarter.

If you walk south on rue Belanger, and turn right toward Temple, there are some great new restaurants and concept stores (ex., The Broken Arm) that are alot of fun. Great mens' shopping along the route. Then... More

We at an atmospheric restaurant called Camille and the foodvwas good too .highly recommended .Would book we were just lucky to get a table being Saturday night

We took a walking tour and I would go back to just walk around and do more window shopping! We did not go into the Holocaust memorial but the area around it had other memorial plaques as well.

The Marais area in Paris in the 3rd. & 4th. arrondissement. A 5 minute walk from St Paul metro station. Predominently a Jewish area, but fast becoming a gay centre. Very historic narrow streets full of cafes and restaurants,both kosher and non kosher, catering for all palates. Niches shops which weren't too expensive for a tourist haven. Very busy on... More
