Le Marais is a beautiful medieval arrondissement of Paris: a maze of narrow cobbled streets, old timbered buildings, and aristocratic mansions, with picturesque squares like Place des Vosges and other hidden gems. Named for the marshland it was originally built on, Le Marais was once the headquarters of the infamous Knights Templar. Today it is one of Paris’s most elegant, multi-ethnic, and trendy neighborhoods—all of which is reflected in its international cuisine.
