Area is worth a walk but there are much more interesting streets in Paris. Keep an eye out for a second-hand clothing store...a friperie store as known there. Good values.

The RER B line stop for my travel was in the city, at Chatelet at Les Halles. We needed to reach Vendome; could not get bearings from Marias. Not enough Taxi stands could be found, for our needs. All people encountered were helpful, but could not communicate in English, for our needs. A male Post Office employee was most gracious... More

This was one of my favorite neighborhoods. I could have spent several more days just walking through the tiny streets and stopping to eat and drink at every cafe and bar I passed.

When in Paris the Marais is my favourite place to stay and hang out. You get to feel much more like a local. Lots of local wine bars, cafes, boutique shops, food shops. Local people of all ages but also very gay friendly in that French style.

This is the best place in Paris. Forget the noisy, touristy places! Stay in the Marais and explore the hidden corners of this beautiful city. The shops are full of stuff that you don't see anywhere else. The restaurants are quaint and delicious. There are lots of French people who live and work here so you feel more like a... More

We stayed in this area for 5 nights. It is a seemingly safe area to stay and there are lots of cafes around. It is just near Notre Dame and there is easy access to the Metro. It is always easy to find your way back home as it is centred near the Hotel de Ville. Great spot for us... More

Le Marais is a beautiful neighborhood on the Right Bank known for its vibrant community -- LGBT-friendly shops and bars, cool boutiques and thrift shops, pretty parks and a bustling Jewish quarter. Highlights of our visit (we went back twice): the falafel and Jewish bakeries on Rue des Rosiers, the amazing food stalls at Marche des Enfants Rouges (offering Italian,... More

Lovely area. The restaurants were warm and friendly. It's not too far from anything, and it has a feeling of nightlife.

Fun place; busy on the weekends, great to just walk around or sit at one of the cafes and watch the world go by.
