Nearby Marais attractions (from left): the Picasso Museum, Place des Vosges and the Archives Nationales.     The Marais overlaps the 3rd and 4th arrondissiments and is famous for its 17th Century architecture, boutiques, bookstores, art galleries, museums, monuments, and restaurants--about 400 French and ethnic choices within just this neighborhood.     It's an absolute paradise for museum-goers. Within walking distance, you have Notre Dame Cathedral, Sainte Chapelle, Place des Vosges and the Victor Hugo Museum, the Picasso Museum, Carnavalet (Paris history), Hotel de Ville, Pompidou Center, Place de la Bastille, and Cirque d'Hiver (the winter circus).   Our quartier of the Marais is known for its food markets. Les Enfants Rouges is the oldest open-air market in Paris, featuring organic fruit and vegetables all week, an artisanal farmers' market on the weekends, and the Parisian version of a food court. Rue de Bretagne is lined with butcher shops, bakeries, and little stores for pastries, wine, cheese, fish, chocolate, and great carry out (emporter).
