Spanning the 3rd and 4th, Le Marais is the trendy, central neighborhood layered with Jewish, LGBTQ and Chinese history that still lives on its streets.
From the Rue des Rosiers falafel line to cocktail bars and modern bistros, it's one of the densest eating-and-drinking quarters in the city.
“L'As du Fallafel, which many claim is the best fallafel in all of Paris, with there always being a line out the door, but it moves quickly and is worth the while”
Picnic in Place des Vosges, browse the boutiques, then dinner in a candlelit bistro — the Marais is built for an unhurried date.

The arcaded symmetry of Place des Vosges and the narrow medieval lanes that survived Haussmann make for classic Paris frames; go early to dodge crowds.
