Where to stay in Le Marais - Le louvre


If you are on a shopping spree and looking for the latest Paris trends you can’t be wrong staying in Le Marais and its nearby area. The contrast between 16th century mansion houses where Victor Hugo wrote his master pieces and the brightly colored glass and steel contemporary art museum Pompidou center sums up what le Marais area has to offer to you. A magnificently preserved historic center as a launching pad for young fashion designers who often go on to become internationally famous.

This mix of trend and culture gives you a great place to stay in Paris. If you are not staying there I would advise that you take the time to stroll on rue Charlot on Sunday afternoon to enjoy the unpretentious restaurants, wine bars and art galleries when the rest of Paris is usually closed.Night life is also quite intense and Hip places will keep you awake until the wee hours of the morning.

It is very central and close from major tourist attractions, at a walking distance from Le Louvre museums and nearby major Paris transport arteries.
