Le Marais spans the 3rd and 4th arrondissements on the Right Bank, centered around Place des Vosges — Paris's oldest planned square. Once the aristocratic center of Paris, it's now the city's most walkable and vibrant neighborhood: world-class museums (Musée Picasso, Carnavalet), LGBTQ+ culture, independent boutiques, and some of the best falafel in Europe (Rue des Rosiers). Housing stock is largely 17th-18th century townhouses (hôtels particuliers) converted into apartments with high ceilings and period details.
