The universally popular Marais is an ideally central location for visiting Paris. Rue des Rosiers is a narrow lively street where cafés, modest and not-so-modest restaurants jostle for space with designer boutiques and Jewish delis – a street of contradictions. A favourite of Parisians and tourists alike, the heart of the Jewish quarter. On weekends the street becomes crowded with ambling pedestrians. Within 5-15 mins walk you can visit 17th c Place des Vosges, Picasso Museum, Museum of the History of Paris, Ile St Louis, Ile de la Cité, Notre Dame, Left Bank and the Louvre – just for starters ! Grocery, bakers, delicatessens on doorstep, and supermarkets 5 mins walk.
