Welcome to le Marais! |
|
We created the parismarais® web site to reflect our lifestyle and our vision of life. We look forward to sharing it with you. Everyone on the Parismarais Team has traveled extensively or lived abroad. We have experienced different cultures, different lifestyles. We all speak French, English, and at least one other language. We know how it feels to be far from home. We know the frustration of looking at a new city from an anonymous, business hotel and feeling you’re not really being part of it…
 So, for you we have selected some of the most charming hotels and furnished holiday apartments in the Marais area.
Our apartments match international 3, 4 or 5 star room standards. Some are run by private owners - in certains cases, the apartment is their own personal flat offered for rent while they are away on vacation or business. We know all of them personally and trust them for their exceptional qualities. Other flats we recommend are managed by the most reliable rental agencies that we trust for the quality of their flats and their welcoming services. With the great selection we offer, you’ll certainly find the flat of your dreams.
If you plan to stay in Le Marais for more than four nights, renting one of our flats is probably the most friendly option. If you wish to stay only a night or two, or want to enjoy hotel service “à la française” you can trust our selected hotels. We have visited them all and are sure you’ll enjoy their comfort and charm. Whatever your choice, welcome to Paris’ favorite district!

We have the great honor of opening our web guide with an editorial signed by our local mayor, Mr. Pierre Aidembaum, to show visitors from around the world that everyone is welcome in Le Marais, Paris’ favorite district. Here is the original French version, followed by our English translation. « Bienvenue dans le Marais, le quartier préféré des parisiens ! »
Pascal Fonquernie, editor.
 « Le 3e arrondissement jouit dans Paris d’un prestige et d’une notoriété que l’on doit aux hauts faits historiques qui s’y sont déroulés et qui ont marqué l’architecture et l’esprit de ce territoire appartenant au quartier du Marais.
De la place des Vosges au Marché des Enfants rouges, du Musée Carnavalet au Carreau du Temple… les touristes sont très nombreux à fréquenter le 3e et à le porter dans leur cœur. Ils y trouvent bien sûr des trésors du patrimoine parisien, mais aussi la douceur de petites rues au charme désuet et le dynamisme de son activité économique et culturelle.
Le public anglo-saxon ne s’y est pas trompé puisque nombreux sont-ils à le visiter ou même à décider de s’y installer de façon pérenne.
Le cœur de Paris est un des plus beaux endroits du Monde. Que vous soyez en train d’organiser un prochain voyage, ou que vous y ayez déjà vos habitudes, je suis fier de vous souhaiter la bienvenue. Je suis sûr que vous ne résisterez pas au charme du 3e et que vous vous laisserez emporter par son effervescence ! »

Message from Mr. Pierre Aidembaum, Mayor of Paris District 3
The 3rd arrondissement of Paris enjoys a certain prestige and reputation due to the many events in French history that took place here. These have left a deep imprint on the architecture and spirit of this district, which is part of le Marais.
From Place des Vosges to the Marché des Enfants Rouges, from Carnavalet Museum to the Carreau du Temple, many tourists flock to this area and embrace le Marais in their hearts. Here they find the treasures of the Parisian patrimony, the quiet and peace of village life, as well as the dynamism of its economy and culture.
Anglo-Saxons have made a good choice when selecting le Marais for their holiday or as the place to start a new life. The heart of Paris is one of the world’s most beautiful spots. If you are thinking of visiting Paris soon, or if you visit our area often, I am happy to wish you a warm welcome. I am sure you won’t be able to resist the charm of Paris district 3, and that you’ll be more than enthusiastic about its liveliness and wonderful energy.
