In this rich area you can find many interesting sights, museums (such as the “Centre National Pompidou”) and famous squares like the Place des Vosges and Place de la Bastille. The Colonne de Juillet that dominates Place de la Bastille is like a statue of Liberty. Between Notre-Dame and the Place de la Bastille lies the heart of the Marais. A shopping tour in this district is a complete aesthetic experience: boutiques of all colors and flavours pop out along medieval streets and among tree-shaded cafés. What the Marais does best is independent designer shops selling truly unique creations, as well as vintage stores.
