Begin your first day in Marais with a relaxing stroll around Place des Vosges. This beautiful square is known for its symmetrical red brick architecture and gorgeous gardens. Take a seat on one of the benches and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere.
Indulge in a day of pampering at Le Marais Spa, where you can enjoy various treatments including massages, facials, and body wraps. The serene atmosphere will help you unwind and relax.
Take a leisurely morning walk to the Musée Carnavalet, which chronicles Parisian history from the Middle Ages to the present day. The museum is housed in two historic mansions, providing a peaceful and immersive space to explore.
Relax in the beautiful Jardin des Rosiers-Joseph-Migneret, a hidden gem of Marais surrounded by antique shops and cafes. Take a book and enjoy a quiet afternoon under the shade of the trees or have a picnic with some freshly baked goods from nearby bakeries.
Take a relaxing stroll along the Canal Saint Martin, with its picturesque views of the waterway, its charming cafes and bookshops. Take a picnic, and watch as the boats go by or join a boat tour if you prefer to have some structure to your leisure time.
End your trip by visiting the Père Lachaise Cemetery, where many of Paris's most famous figures are buried. Take a walk in the park-like cemetery, where you can find the tombs of Oscar Wilde, Frédéric Chopin and Jim Morrison, among others.
