Hideaways' Review |
The Marais hardly needs an introduction. One of the most ancient quartiers of Paris, the fine old buildings and squares have been carefully restored over the years and both Parisians and tourists love to explore the maze of narrow streets, attractive boutiques, countless cafés and restaurants. We especially enjoy the rue des Francs Bourgeois. The Place des Vosges (5 mins walk) is one of the purest examples of 17th century architecture, and there are often open air concerts in the square. Also within walking distance, the Picasso museum, Pompidou Centre, the banks of the Seine, the Ile St Louis, Ile de la Cité, flower market, Notre Dame and much more!
Everyone knows the Rue des Rosiers - a narrow bustling street where cafés, modest and not-so-modest restaurants jostle for space with designer boutiques - a street of contradictions! A favourite amongst Parisians and tourists alike, the centre of the old Jewish quarter. Don't miss our favorite tea-room, Le Loir dans la Théière ("The Dormouse in the Teapot"). A heavy wooden door in a deep cobbled porch opens onto a characteristic Parisian courtyard where an ancient staircase winds up to our third floor apartment. While the apartment is modestly appointed, the size and especially the location appeals to those on limited budgets wanting nevertheless to be in the heart of things. |
