This house in the fourth arrondissment is where I lived for three months in the autumn of 1962, and again for three months in 1965. They have fixed the windows since then, and installed a number-coded lock on the front door, but otherwise it looks much the same now as it did four decades ago.
But the street has been fixed up, and they have planted some trees.
This is in the Marais district, one of the oldest districts in Paris, between the Beaubourg museum and the Opera Bastille, neither of which existed at the time I lived here.

Paris is a town full of museums.
In Le Marais we have discovered on a street Musee de la Curiosite et de la Magie. The entrance is quite small and hidden and it can be easily missed.
Unfortunately it was our last morning in Paris and it was closed in the morning, but I've heart that the museum displays an interesting collection of objects related to this art.

Seeing the name in the guide, I thought initially that I'll see a huge church in the heart of Le Marais.
Cathedrale Ste-Croix-de-Paris is actually a small church built in 1624 as a Capuchin monastery chapel.
The church is now the church of the Armenian comunity.
Address: Rue Charlot

 Medieval Houses of rue
Miron by GUYON
The number 11 is called the Reaper due to a commercial sign. The number 13 is the Sheep.
They are remodeled in 1967 and the half-timber has been cleared from the plaster. Leave a Comment Other Contact: Metro : Hotel de Ville

 Place des Vosges by vivalasteph
The center of the square was used for duels.
The Maison de Victor Hugo is in the southeast corner and is open to the public.
Today, the square is home to many over-priced restaurants and shops, but makes for an atmospheric stop to watch kids at play, and sip un cafe. Other Contact: rue des Francs Bourgeois

The most incredible place to just hang out, Le Marais has it all. For the traveller who likes to see the big highlights of a major city as quick as possible and then spend a little more time relaxing and soaking up some of the real city life, then you could do worse than setup base in Le Marais.
Endless amounts of bars, clubs, pubs, cafes and restaurants of all styles make it an unforgettable experience. The real winner about Le Marais is that it side steps the tourist trap yet it is yards from the Louvre and Notre Dame.
Trust me you will never eat a full French breakfast in more stunningly beautiful and relaxed surroundings.
Aint been there in over 4 years and always think about returning.

The oldest half-timbered house in the Marais is from the 14th-century and found at 3 rue Volta, near rue des Vertus. Leave a Comment

This was also the parish church of Victor Hugo who baptized his daughters here. Delacroix's Christ's Agony in the Garden of Olives is one of the magnificent paintings honored here.
This massive church I fell in love with my 3rd trip to Paris, one of the reasons being I used it to guide me home to my hotel at night, the Hotel Jeanne d'Arc. Access to the Place du Marche Ste-Catherine, which is just around the corner from the hotel, was gained via rue Caron which was just one street down from the entrance to this church.

Saint Paul et Saint Louis presents a striking aspect. Not only because of its dark and blackened outside (it really needs some cleaning) but the style - stocky and massive - is unusual for Paris.
This style comes from the model used : the "Gesu" : the church was built in the XVII th century by the Jesuits. Their influence made the chuch - called only Saint Louis - famous for their preaches and had very famous parishers like Madame de Sevigne (a neighbour) and the royal family.
At the begining of the XIX th century, the church became a 'standard parish' and "Saint Paul" (the area's name) was added to its denomination.
Now it is the only active catholic church in this very jewish part of Paris.
