The much coveted Marais district needs little introduction. From
your door it is an easy, pleasant walk to the Picasso Museum, Musee
Carnavalet and Place des Vosges, through a labyrinth of tiny medieval
streets lined by magnificent "Hotels Particuliers". Restaurants
and specialty food stores abound! A very charming market square (Carreau
du Temple) bustles with cafes and restaurants. One block away is
one of the most divine delicatessen shops street of Paris, Rue de
Bretagne, and a daily open air market (Marché des Enfants
Rouges) where you will find the finest, most eclectic, cheese, wine,
vegetable and meat shops in town. Parents with children will love
the Square du Temple and its playground across the street. The square,
popular still, was a favorite hang out for the aristocracy and "thinkers" of
the 17th century. This trendy area was recently featured in Gourmet
Magazine. Many of the featured suggestions from that piece are just
a block away e.g. Chez Omar, a very popular restaurant and the Web
Bar where one can eat and be connected to email in the same sitting!
