Guide créé par Paris Vacation Apartments Marais
Guide des Quartiers
As its name suggests, the Marais was originally a marshy area with little hospitality. It was however occupied from the 12th century. Religious communities settled there, followed by Templars. From the 16th century, the neighborhood changed and became more aristocratic, the pleasure residences replacing the fortified walls. Rue des Archives, rue Charlot, rue Vieille du Temple became fashionable and the bourgeoisie took over the district in the 18th century. It was from this time that the Marais then acquired the mansions that we know. Due to its central location, the district is spared by the great works of Baron Haussmann. Over time, it evolves, recent constructions rub shoulders with the most secular.
