Top 6 Neighborhoods in Le Marais, Ile-de-France
Lingering over pain au chocolat in a sidewalk café, relaxing after a day of strolling along the Seine and marveling at icons like the Eiffel Tower and the Arc de Triomphe… the perfect Paris experience combines leisure and liveliness with enough time to savor both an exquisite meal and exhibits at the Louvre. Awaken your spirit at Notre Dame, bargain hunt at the Marché aux Puces de Montreuil or for goodies at the Marché Biologique Raspail, then cap it all off with a risqué show at the Moulin Rouge.

Yes- we preferred to stay in this Jewish Quarter, so that's what we did: it wasn't even a question for us. We wanted to experience the atmosphere of the place, to see and explore its history, to wander through its museums (Jewish and otherwise), to visit its stores, to participate in prayer services in its several houses of worship and to enjoy its genuinely certifiably reliably and strictly punctiliously kosher restaurants... and we did do all of that... and maybe even more. You can see my one exemplary photo from the neighborhood and you can also read my reviews of the street, the Marais and the restaurants. Feel free to "like" my reviews and photos. If you are interested in or participate in Jewish life, then this is a location for you. Believe me- I know, because.... I visited this place

Located on a land-filled swamp, this revitalized neighborhood, once a center of high culture, fell into disrepair following the French Revolution, but has regained prominence.

Alive with restaurants, bars, shops of every variety. Home to the Picasso Museum (fantastic), the very interesting Carnavalet Museum (museum of the City of Paris), and lovely cafes, bakeries, creperies, and the best falafel shops in Europe!

4. 3rd Arrondissement
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 66 reviews
Situated on the right bank of the River Seine, the 3rd is the smallest in area after the 2nd arrondissement. The arrondissement contains the northern, quieter part of the medieval district of Le Marais (while the 4th arrondissement contains Le Marais' more lively southern part, notably including the gay district of Paris). The oldest surviving private house of Paris, built in 1407, is to be found in the 3rd arrondissement, along the rue de Montmorency.

The 3rd Arrondissement is another lovely district of Paris. We went there and just walked around taking in the atmosphere. There are many types of shops, including restaurants, cafes, bars, boutiques, Galleries, museums and others. Worth a visit.
5. 4th Arrondissement

The 4th arrondissement contains the Renaissance-era Paris City Hall. It also contains the Renaissance square of Place des Vosges, the overtly modern Pompidou Centre and the lively southern part of the medieval district of Le Marais, which today is known for being the gay district of Paris (while the more quiet northern part of Le Marais is contained inside the 3rd arrondissement). The eastern parts of the Île de la Cité (including Notre-Dame de Paris) as well as the Île Saint-Louis are also included within the 4th arrondissement.

We just loved staying here and lodging here. It was so great and exciting and fun and meaningful and pleasant. So much interesting stuff, and so much history. It is so worthwhile to visit here and to do lodging here. We will definitely return here for visiting and lodging on our soon-to-be next trip. This arrondissement is notable for the following stuff: the Renaissance-era Paris City Hall (which we absolutely loved and admired from the outside), the Renaissance square of Place des Vosges (which we explored and reveled in the amazing French history on which we were nurtured and grew up studying), the overtly modern Pompidou Centre (whose structure and architecture we enjoyed more than its inside), the lively southern part of the medieval district of Le Marais (which we loved as our place of lodging and home to traditional Jewish places of worship, study and- most importantly- food), and the eastern parts of the Île de la Cité (including Notre-Dame de Paris) as well as the Île Saint-Louis- the two islands that we visited numerous times and loved.
