The Marais, Bastille, The Islands:
If you are planning to marry in Paris the Marais is one of its most picturesque quarters. The heart of the City of Lights is the old Marais area. While the name actually means swamp, the winding streets of this gentrified section of town are anything but dingy.
Start over near the Les Halles area, a former open air market now surrounded by restaurants and outdoor activities, then head down the famed Rue du Temple to the shopping streets of the Rue des Archives or the Rue des Francs Bourgeois and turn into the Rue des Rosiers, the heart of the old Jewish quarter. The air brims with history while the streets bustle with locals and tourists in the know.
At the far end of the Marais lies the Place des Vosges where the kings lived before heading out to Versailles. Imagine wedding photos taken surrounded by the red brick buildings where Victor Hugo wrote his masterpieces!
Off to the east is the Bastille area. A tall obelisk marks the spot where the famed prison once sat. Up behind the busy area is the Canal St Martin made famous worldwide by the Jean-Pierre Jeunet film Amelie. Theres also the landmark Hotel du Nord. A wedding weekend event topped off by a stroll down the languid canal is something that cant be beat.
Just south of Bastille lies the Ile St Louis. Rife with small, intimate restaurants and grand views, the Ile St Louis is a perfect setting for a wedding of your dreams. Cozy, candlelit cellars serve as the ultimate in private partying!
And across the river from the Ile St Louis you can spy the flying buttresses of the Notre Dame cathedral. What more needs to be said?
