bike station: 76 Rue du Temple

bikes are part of the Paris mayor's idea of making the city more ecologically friendly and reducing traffic. Today there are 15,000 bikes available at 750 locations across the city. To use the bikes, riders pay about $7 for a weekly pass and leave a credit card deposit of $150 in case the bike is not returned. The first half-hour is free, with a charge of about $1.50 for each 30 minutes thereafter.

It's a great way to get from point to point without having to deal with the hassle of keeping up with your bike all day. You just pick up your bike in one place and turn it in at another.

Le Marche des Enfants Rouges

Every day, except on Monday, just a few blocks from the apartment on Rue Bretagne is a compact indoor market called "Le Marche des Enfants Rouge" where you will find stands offering a great selection of fresh seafood, meat, vegetables, cheese and charcuterie, wine, flowers, and prepared foods.

Rue du Temple

Today, Rue du Temple is part of an extremely commercially active and lively area of the Marais. The apartment is located just few blocks east from the Georges Pompidou Center, commonly referred to as "Beaubourg" and Chatelet. It is only a short 5-10 minute walk to Hotel de Ville and L'lle de La Cite.

During Medieval times, Rue du Temple marked the west boundary of Le Marais, and was the result of the merge among other three streets: Rue du Bar, Rue du Bec, Rue Sainte-Avoye and Rue du Temple. It was opened during the 13th century and it separated the lands that belonged to "The Templiers" from those that belonged to "beau bourg" or the monks from Saint Martin des Champs. The street takes its name from a military and religious Order of "the Knights of the Temple's Militia, also called "the Templiers", founded in Jerusalem in 1118 after the first crusade, in order to overcome the incredulous and the unfaithful to Christianism.

They reached such degree of success in their financial operations, that they were able to create an institution very similar to the concept of an international bank. However, their Order was abolished and most of them were killed after being accused of all kinds of abuses.

Although today there is not much left from the medieval apogee of "The Templiers", the area is surrounded by the most visited monuments, cultural places and a very resourceful area populated by grocery stores shops, cafes, restaurants, and cultural attractions, such as Beaubourg, Notre Dame, and the Louvre Museum. Many more small museums are located north and east of the street and are very convenient .

Today, this neighborhood provides the perfect Parisian experience from sunny, outdoor cafes and brasseries to the boutique an designer shopping on Rue des Francs Bourgeois and romantic walks along the Seine.

Nearby Attractions:
Within a short walk of the apartment, you'll find famous Paris cultural sites such as the Place des Vosges, Musee Picasso, Musee Carnavalet, Archives Nationales, and the Jewish Museum of Art and History.

All of this makes the Marais one of the most sought after arrondissements for tourist travelers to Paris.

It has a small iron-gate entrance that’s easy to miss if you aren’t looking for it. It is the oldest food market in Paris, built in 1615 under the rule of King Louis XIII. The name literally means “ Market of the Red Children”. The name comes from a nearby 17th century orphanage where the children wore red uniforms.

The stands offer a great selection of fresh seafood, meat and charcuterie, wine, flowers, prepared foods and French & imported cheeses.
