What people say
Raven Patzke
"La Marais is one of the more hip and fashionable neighborhoods in Paris. This trendy place is a melting pot of the Jewish community, Chinese community, LGBTQ community and tourists. However, the architecture here is very different than most other places, making it feel like you’ve truly found that hidden gem. On Sundays, they actually close down the streets here and open them up just for pedestrians, which tends to get pretty crowded. Note: This is a very safe area, but watch out for pickpockets near the opera house!"
