Le Marais (meaning “the marsh” in French) spreads across parts of the 3rd and 4th arrondissements in Paris (on the Rive Droite, or Right Bank, of the Seine). The original marsh was drained, and the area was developed by the aristocracy, until their migration to Versailles, during the 17th and 18th centuries. The Marais became home to ordinary Parisians and a well-established Jewish population centred on the Rue des Rosiers, which has now developed into a high fashion area. The neighbourhood has also experienced a growing gay presence since the 1980s, as evidenced by the existence of many gay cafés, nightclubs, cabarets and shops.
This Gustave Eiffel designed hotel surrounds a large courtyard of gardens and cobblestones. The rooms have an Art Deco designed enriched with maple and mahogany woods. The hotel often has good promotional offers online.
Victor-Marie Hugo (26 February 1802 — 22 May 1885) was a French poet, playwright, novelist, essayist, visual artist, statesman, human rights campaigner, and perhaps the most influential exponent of the Romantic movement in France.
Le Marais is a district in Paris, France, traditionally a bourgeois area, but also well-known historically. It spreads across parts of the 3rd and 4th arrondissements in Paris (on the Rive Droite, or Right Bank, of the Seine).
The Musée Picasso is an art gallery located in the Hôtel Salé in rue de Thorigny, in the Marais district of Paris. The Musée Picasso contains more than 3000 different works of art by Pablo Picasso including drawings, ceramics and paintings.

The Place des Vosges is the oldest square in Paris. It is located in le Marais, and is part of the 3rd and 4th arrondissements of Paris. Originally known as the Place Royale, the Place des Vosges was built by Henri IV from 1605 to 1612. A true square (140 m x 140 m), it embodied the first European program of royal city planning.
Francs-Bourgeois's street is one of the longer and the most interesting of le Marais in Paris, France. Starting near Centre Georges Pompidou (rue Rambuteau), it is today a trendy street extremely appreciated for all the fashion stores.
