Le Marais spans across the 3rd and 4th arrondissements and was traditionally known as a bourgeois area. Today the Marais is the center of the Jewish community with numerous mansions turned museums, and art galleries. In the late 1960s, the Marais became the first protected sector, which has helped to preserve the historical nature of this area. On this audio tour you will also encounter the Place de Vosges, the prettiest square in Paris.
