This Short-term rental in the Marais is surrounded by streets full of history. The district itself, which bears the name of Marais since the Middle Ages, knew its zenith in the seventeenth century. Starting from the construction of Place Royale in 1605, the neighborhood was highly prized by the aristocracy, which built many private mansions, such as the Hotel Liberal-Bruant.

Another of these sumptuous mansions, the Hotel de Donon, now houses the Cognacq-Jay Museum. The museum is entirely dedicated to the eighteenth century: it contains all the arts of its time, paintings, sculptures, decorative arts and furniture, as well as miniature and decorative antique boxes. The collections of the museum bring together more recent acquisitions around the original collection of Ernest Cognacq and his wife Marie-Louise Jaÿ, founders of the department store La Samaritaine.

Le Marais is renowned for its designer boutiques. Far from limiting themselves to fashion clothing alone, these creators excel in other fields, such as the young French watchmaking company Charlie Watch, which offers watches designed and assembled in Paris a few steps from this Short-term rental in the Marais.
