It's said to be the most beautiful square in Paris and I might agree only I have to admit that I have not seen all the squares in Paris. I visited it a couple of times already and found it to be very peaceful. In rain or sun it always has its charms. Lots of people use it as a... More

Many people do not know about this magnificent arrondissement, tucked away as it is near the Beauborg. Yet I think it is one of the most evocative on the Right Bank, with narrow streets full of antique and quirky design shops, restaurants with courtyards and historic buildings which take you back to the Middle Ages. The Place des Vosges is... More

Besides feeling like you are in a movie when walking around you can also just chill at the park after a nice day of shopping in the Marais. You might get turned off by all the tourists but it's still worth visiting.

We were also provided with a tray, kettle and cups which was lovely for coffee in the am.... More

Due to the significant work going on here at the moment the place has lost much of its charm. I am sure once the work is over it will be worth visiting again. For the moment, more interesting places to be.

From the iPad mural overlooking the Park, many shops are now closed. This has a history but looks tired in spite of it all.

Secret garden in the middle of Marais, nice park surrounded by incredible nice houses with long corridors, next to Hugo's house. Lovely place!

Beautiful park square surrounded by great buildings. Nice place to lie down in the grass and relax. Shops and restaurants line the square. Great little spot!
