#summervacay On my autumn solo trip to Paris, I discovered that the Marais district isn't just for shopping; it's also home to some beautiful, lesser-known museums, and I've found two fantastic free options that are definitely worth a visit! 1. Musée Carnavalet - Histoire de Paris (Carnavalet Museum - History of Paris) 📜🎨 This museum might seem unassuming from the outside, but wow, it's huge inside! I almost got a little lost exploring it all. The collection is wonderfully diverse, covering the rich history of Paris through various artifacts and exhibits. I heard that in summer, their cafe is super popular, with seating extending into a charming, plant-filled courtyard. It sounds like such an atmospheric place to dine! 2. Maison de Victor Hugo (Victor Hugo's House) ✍️🏡 Another absolute must-see for me was the Maison de Victor Hugo, the former residence of the literary giant himself. It's so conveniently located right next to the beautiful Place des Vosges in the Marais. The old house is exquisitely furnished, and you can really feel the opulent home environment of a wealthy Parisian family from his era. Plus, they have so many portraits of Hugo from different stages of his life, which was a unique glimpse into his personal journey. The café in the backyard also looked lovely. Both of these museums offer a wonderful blend of history, art, and a peek into Parisian life, all without an entry fee. They were perfect for an enriching and budget-friendly exploration of the Marais! #Paris #Marais #FreeMuseums #MuseeCarnavalet #VictorHugoHouse #ParisHistory #ArtAndArchitecture #SoloTravel #ParisTravel #EuropeanTravel #MuseumHopping

#cityplaybook #attractive Nestled on the Right Bank of the Seine, Le Marais is where history, art, fashion, and food come together in the most effortlessly Parisian way. Once the aristocratic heart of the city, this historic district is now a vibrant blend of medieval charm and contemporary flair. Strolling through its narrow cobbled streets, you'll discover centuries-old hôtels particuliers (private mansions), now home to museums like the Musée Carnavalet, Musée Picasso, and hidden art galleries. The Place des Vosges, Paris’s oldest planned square, offers a peaceful escape under its elegant arcades. Le Marais is also a foodie’s paradise. From Jewish bakeries on Rue des Rosiers serving falafel and rugelach, to chic bistros and cozy cafés, there’s something for every palate. The area's boutique shopping scene is equally enticing, with independent fashion labels and vintage treasures tucked between classic Parisian façades. It’s a neighborhood that embraces both tradition and innovation, effortlessly cool yet steeped in history. Whether you're hunting for antiques, sampling artisanal pastries, or just people-watching with a café crème, Le Marais is where Paris feels personal. #LeMarais #ParisCharm #HiddenParis #PlaceDesVosges #ParisCafés #CityPlaybook #BistroLife #ParisCulture

Paris is always the good idea. I went to the Sevenly Heart, located in the centre of Paris with cosy vibe in the morning for cafe and cookies. The cafe is well decorated with different mirrors, and plants. The vibe is so great! Coffee has some special choices like sweets coffee with pink colour. In addition, the cup is not normal, and it looks great! Some people love chatting with friends in this cafe. If you come to the cafe in the evening, you can enjoy the chill vibe here with a variety of wine collection. Brilliant place to enjoy night!

Discover one of many gems at Le Marais in Paris, an impressive clocks in Paris witj a 3D scene of a man fighting a crab, bird, and dragon, which in turn represent the sea, sky, and earth. When the clock is functioning, each hour has depicted the man fighting one of the three animals. When I was there the clock was not working, what a pity!#paris #hiddengem
