  Oldest square in Paris

  One of the oldest in Paris, and one of the most beautiful. The visitor strolls under its arcades or in the aisles of the central garden, and takes the opportunity to admire the beautiful red brick facades. The shops, open on Sunday, participate in the animation of the place. The square is the ideal starting point for a stroll in the Marais, one of the capital's most charming historic districts, for the heritage treasures it houses and the atmosphere it radiates. The numerous mansions of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries have been transformed into internationally renowned museums: Musée Picasso Paris, Carnavalet museum, Victor Hugo's house ... The rue des Rosiers, epicenter of the Parisian Jewish community, is to be discovered for its atmosphere, its shops and restaurants. And there are countless bars and clubs that make the Marais the largest gay district in France.
