Things happen when the Maraisians turn their backs! Too bad for those who had already gone on vacation, but newlyweds Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez took advantage of the absence of some Parisians to visit the Marais.
Saturday July 23, the illustrious couple was at the Picasso museum (3rd) to see the exhibition Maya Ruiz-Picasso, daughter of Pablo. The lovers were then seen, holding hands, at Kilo Shop, rue de la Verrerie (4th), and on Ile Saint-Louis where they stopped at the café Le Flore en l'Ile
The singer and the actor-director (Argo, Will Hunting, Armageddon, Pearl Harbor) also visited the Musée d'Orsay.
Born on July 24, “J-Lo” celebrated her 53rd birthday in Paris with her husband who, for his part, celebrated his 50th birthday at the end of August. Two of their children took part in the trip: Violet, 16 years old, daughter of Ben Affleck, and Emme, 14 years old, J-Lo's child who declares herself “non-binary”.
After their surprise wedding in Las Vegas on July 16, the couple now known as “Bennifer” stayed for several days at the Crillon hotel, Place de la Concorde.
What could be more romantic than the French capital for a honeymoon with a walk on the banks of the Seine, a stroll through the Tuileries, a cruise on the Seine, a trip to the Louvre, a dinner at the Giraffe (with a view of the Eiffel Tower) and, Last but not least, Marsh ?

Divine brunch at the foot of Notre-Dame
Of course, officially, it is not the Marais. But at Son de la Terre, a barge recently moored at the Montebello quay (5th), the 4th arrondissement is in sight. Moreover, this one is incredible: on one side, it is Notre-Dame flooded with sunlight; on the other, the quays, the book sellers, the walkers, the joggers.
Saka, a cocktail bar like in Tokyo
Here is an address which gives the measure of the transformation of the Marais. And it's enough to silence the grumpy people whose mantra is: “It was better before…” No, everything was not better “before” in the Marais.
