my favorite neighborhood (besides my neighborhood of course) is the marais. so many beautiful shops and art galleries. i rode my bike (well technically everyones bike - the velib) up and down many of its streets the other day in an attempt to familiarize myself a bit more with the area. it's quite large!

this neighborhood (the marais) was predominantly jewish before the nazi occupation.
holocaust museum. not an easy place to visit.
and where Place des Vosges was built in 1605 under Henry IV.

ille de la cite.
where the earliest settlements of paris were. the town was called Lutetia and was conquered by the romans over 2000 years ago.
wow - that's a long time ago!
