LOCAL MAP
OF THE
QUARTER (at your disposal in the apartment)
(A) “Le Marais”, literally "the swamp",
was originally exactly that. It wasn't until the 13th century that convents came
to the area and it began to develop life and culture.
Today, a trip around the Marais shows
the numerous restorations it has seen. The neighborhood contains some of the
oldest buildings in Paris,
and their architectural treasures make the Marais a charming and unforgettable
place to visit.
Le
Marais n'est à l'origine qu'un vaste marécage et ce n'est qu'à partir du XIIIè
que l'on voit s'y installer des couvents et débuter la culture.
Le Marais a de nos jours fait l'objet de nombreuses restaurations mettant
en valeur tous ces trésors d'architecture et lui redonnant tout son charme
faisant de ce quartier un lieu de visites inoubliable.
The Place Royal (now “La Pace des
Vosges”), built by Henry IV, was finished in 1612 and “Le Marais” became a very stylish neighbourhood,
home of many grand French mansions and "salons", a sort of
intellectual and philosophical conversation group.
Victor Hugo resided nearly 16 years at the n°6 of “La Pace des
Vosges” where one can visit.
D'abord baptisée Place Royale, elle
prend le nom de Place des Vosges vers 1800 pour faire grâce au premier
département ayant acquitté ses impôts.
Victor Hugo résida près de 16 ans au n°6 de la place des Vosges
où l'on peut visiter.
