Le Marais

Le Marais is a trendy district in Paris celebrated for its nightlife. The Marais also contains a large portion of the gay population of Paris and also most of its Jewish population. Because of this, when the Nazis entered Paris they immediately chose the Marais as their first target, shipping many of its Jews and gays to concentration camps.

Le Marais is one of the oldest districts in Paris, and contains many of its museums, art galleries, and historic sites, including the Place des Vosges.

Le Marais is composed of the 3rd and 4th arrondissements of Paris, and is located on the Rive Droite.
