VIBE
The medieval streets of Le Marais (Paris’s ancient Jewish Quarter) comprise one of the most hip neighborhoods in Paris. Rue des Francs Bourgeois runs through the heart of it all, offering style-set shoppers everything from funky kicks (Sprint) to trendy, Euro-style casuals (Les Ateliers de la Maille, Ekyog, BA&SH, Zadig et Voltaire) to cool cosmetics and fragrances (Bobbi Brown, MAC, Khiel’s, Diptyque, Guerlain, L’Artisan Parfumer) to fun accessories (Solaris, Metal Pointu’s).

WHY WE LIKE IT
It’s got a fun mix of quirky shops (our fave is olive oil emporium Oliviers & Co.) and some of our favorite places to hunt for fun kick-it clothes. Perfect for chilled-out boutique and café hopping. (We like to take our coffee/brunch breaks at L'Orée du Marais, located at no. 29.)
GOOD TO KNOW
This is one of the few places in the city where shops are allowed to open on Sundays, making it a great area for weekend brunching and shopping.
