The Medieval Marais Walk
Paris, France
ArchitectureMedieval History
The Marais is one of Paris’s great time capsules, where medieval streets and remnants of the old city stand beside grand town houses and later classical and Baroque buildings. Once low marshland on the edge of Paris, it became fashionable in the late sixteenth and seventeenth centuries as aristocrats built hôtels particuliers around courtyards and gardens. Key sights include Hôtel de Ville, Rue François Miron’s medieval houses, Hôtel de Sens, Place des Vosges, and the Archives Nationales.
