Hotel Sevigne in Marais
Any info on either this hotel or the location? I did the search and info is several years old.
I would like to try the Marais this trip -- On my two previous trips, I stayed once in Latin Quarter (near St Michel) and once near the Louvre. Nothing wrong with either of the locations I previously stayed in but not particularly attached to either one.

Now I'm curious. Will try to look for National Geographic but will probably be this weekend before I get a chance to get to the bookstore.
By interesting, is it good? bad? just different?

It is a very good article that conveys a local flavor to a touristed destination by describing some local characters. The demographics of the Marais is also explored and related to past historical events, including some interesting tidbits on the origins of some of the street's names. Highly recommend it, I'll bet your local library already got their issue.

Hi, I lived for a year in Le Marais and the most beautiful neighbourhood in Paris. It's actually the old, old Paris. La place des Voges was the place where all the kings and queens had celebrations.
You'll love it!

I just returned from a trip where we stayed in a rented apartment in the Marais and loved it. It's a real neighborhood -- not just there for the tourists. Walking distance to lots of sights, safe, friendly. I highly recommend staying there. Please post some info on the hotel, if you end up going.

Stayed at the Hotel de la Bretonnerie. It was all that we wanted in a small hotel- charming, hospitable.
Check out this link- http://www.travelintelligence.net/ws.../art_2299.html
Prices have gone up with the euro.
Eat at Benoit's in the area. It is divine!!!!

I definitely have to look for the article this weekend. Although I reserved a hotel today (Hotel Muguet near Rue Cler), I could change it. The Marais sounds great.
Would still like to hear any feedback on the Sevigne.

Hi laurelt:
We are going to Paris in October, and we are undecided between an apartment in the Marais, one in the 7th, and one in the Rue de Sevres.
Since you liked the one in the Marais, can you tell us more about how you got it?; and if you do not mind ,which apartment? There are so many rental agencies, and so many places, that it is difficult to make a decision.
Thanks,
JL

I rented my apartment thru rentparis.com -- not a very original name but a great apartment. We had #19 on Rue Pecquey which is a small street in the Marais about 1 1/2 blocks from the Pompidou Center. It was $169 and slept my family of 4. Nothing fancy (no elevator or A/C) but we lucked out and it wasn't very hot the week we were there. I would stay there again.
