Walking the colorful streets of Marais neighborhood, sooner or later, you're about to run into this terrific sq, very close to Bastille sq. It's considered to be the oldest planned sq in Paris, rectangular in shape with extraordinary same shape houses around. The central part is a French manicured park with Louis XIII monument in the middle. Victor Hugo lived in a corner house which is now converted into a museum.

I came out of the Hotel De Ville stop to get to Notre Dame Cathedral. It looked like the train station is connected to the building but it was all closed off when I was there so I ended up outside instead. I was on the back end of the building and was fascinated with the architecture. As I moved towards the front of the building towards the bridge to Note Dame, I noticed a statue on horseback on the side of the building. As I neared the bridge I noticed that there was a festival of some sort in the front area of the hotel. It looked like a winter festivalwith free rides for kids. It was New Year so it could also have been related to that. Apart from rides there were a few stalls for food and shops of items. There were also a few photo areas. The building looks quite amazing from afar and does look nice closer up when you are able to see some of the intricate details. I was able to get close to the building but not inside since it looked like it was closed. The colourful lighting around the area made it quite festive and interesting. It was an unexpected but really enjoyable find.

Église Saint-Denys-du-Saint-Sacrement is a really nice church located in Le Marais on Rue Turenne. It looks plain on the outside but is beautiful on the inside. There isn't a lot of decoration on the façade, a few sculptures and a statue of Saint-Paul and Saint-Peter. On the inside, it is decorated in the greco-roman style, from the ceiling to the pillars. There are four chapels, two at the back and two at the front ends. In the chapel near the entrance on the right side, is the Chapel dedicated to Sainte-Geneviève where Eugène Delacroix was commissioned to paint the Pietà. It is one of only 3 Paris churches with Delacroix's wall paintings, the other two being Saint-Paul-Saint-Louis (not far from this church) and Saint-Sulpice. The church is usually quiet and not too crowded and is a great place to meditate and relax. One Sunday per month, the church has a guided visit at 16h30 in French. The closest metro is Saint-Sébastien - Froissart on Line 8.

We chose our lodging near this street- in order to be close to it because of the access to Jewish and kosher stores and restaurants. It is now a tourist attraction of sorts, and is a closed-to-traffic walking pedestrian mall. The street is narrow anyway. We enjoyed wandering along the street, looking at all the stores- the apparel shops, the Jewish stores, the kosher restaurants and the ones that claim to be kosher (be careful- if that makes a difference to you). We look forward to returning to this place. I know what I'm writing about because.... I visited this place
