Le Marais, Paris
by Andy / FarAndFurther-team
Le Marais is a district in Paris that was initially a quarter of nobility before becoming rather more proletarian at the end of the 18th century. These days it is a fashionable area with a strong Jewish community. Le Marais actually feels like an intimate village and a welcoming refuge after walking hour upon hour through the grandeur of central Paris. Crowded and somewhat touristy, it is not tacky or overly chic and still manages to retain sort of an innocent charm. Highly recommended!
