Marais - 3rd Arrondissement
At the heart of the Haut Marais, the 3rd Arrondissement of Paris combines historic streets and elegant hôtels particuliers with a creative mix of fashion, design, art galleries, cafés and restaurants. Explore the Musée Picasso, discover food and casual dining at the Marché des Enfants Rouges, and wander along Rue de Bretagne, Rue Charlot and Rue de Turenne for independent boutiques and neighbourhood addresses.
Quieter than some of the busiest parts of the Marais, the 3rd Arrondissement rewards slower exploration, with historic architecture, hidden courtyards and contemporary Parisian creativity around almost every corner.
