NEIGHBORHOOD ACCESS

Once a swamp, the Marais neighborhood changed in the 12th century with the arrival of religious orders. A posh neighborhood before the French Revolution, it then became a center for merchants and artisans, who opened their workshops in the courtyards. Today, the Marais attracts fashion lovers, who are found in the front row of every fashion week, as well as fans of history, museums, and culture. A diverse neighborhood unlike any other, the Marais is best discovered by strolling on foot and letting your instinct guide you.
