| The Marais needs no introduction these days! Much of the area dates from the 16th and 17th centuries, featuring narrow streets, fine architecture, boutiques, antique shops, restaurants and cafés. Strict building laws protect its authenticity. This is where Parisians chose to wander on weekends! The centerpiece is, of course, the Place des Vosges, the purest example of 17th century architecture, its arcaded façade set around a central park with trees and benches - great for a picnic lunch.
Narrow stairs lead to this 2nd floor apartment (three flights up, no elevator)--a typical old Marais building overlooking a narrow cobbled courtyard with loads of character, and protected from street noises. Full of character, it has recently been entirely renovated and furnished to a good standard while retaining its charm!
