Le Marais district

The trendy design and fashion-designer boutiques in the district have given the Marais its avant-garde reputation. It is a pleasant place to stroll around. Several main streets such as the rue des Rosiers are pedestrianized whilst the rue des Francs-Bourgeois and rue du Temple are closed to motorized traffic on Sunday. By meandering up and down the tiny streets in search of the trendy designer boutiques, you can feel the creative energy almost eve- rywhere.
