Once a swamp (“marais” in French), this area — spanning parts of the 3rd and 4th arrondissements on the Right Bank of the Seine — was drained in the 12th century, paving the way for its transformation into one of Paris’s most historically and culturally significant districts. By the 17th century, the Marais had become the fashionable epicenter of the Parisian aristocracy, with noble families building grand hôtels particuliers (private mansions) that still stand today.
With its rich history, eclectic art scene, trendy shops and many restaurants, staying in the Marais promises an unforgettable experience of Paris. In this 3-day itinerary, we’ll explore the district’s highlights, guiding you hour by hour to our favorite fine dining, antiquing and shopping addresses along the way. It includes detailed directions and information about each destination, a QR code for an interactive map of each day’s journey, as well as insider tips to help you make the most of your trip.
