Things to see and do Paris 4th 75004

With its precious place des Vosges, the Marais is among the most essential districts of the capital. But do you know exactly where it is? It is delimited west by Beaubourg Street, north by Rue de Bretagne, east by Beaumarchais Boulevard, and south by Seine. Are you there? You can now go to its conquest, starting your journey by the island Saint-Louis for example. It's never going to be said enough, but to get to the best of the neighborhood, it's better to avoid the evening (its festive activity is loaded there) and the weekend, since the shops - increasingly focused on clothing - are open Saturday and Sunday.

The former place of Strike, located on the banks of the Seine, allowed its construction to unload goods coming by boat. In 1357, the municipality took its quarters in a house that will be replaced by a palace in the sixteenth century. Note that the current city hall is the exact reply. Major events took place here, particularly during the French Revolution and the Revolution of 1830. Today, it is the scene of various parties and gatherings. In winter, a skating rink attracts the world. In the summer, a music festival, which brings together popular groups and discoveries, stands on the screw. At the Football World Cup, hundreds of fans are held in front of the city hall with a giant screen! Learn more about the city hall website.
