If, like many of us, you are looking for a winter garden where you can breathe deeply, it is in the heart of the Marais that a new green setting awaits you.

Historical park closed for a long time for work then due to confinement, we had to wait until June 2020 to set foot on the lawns of the Jardin des Arts- Albert Schweitzer.

Close to the International City of Arts where artists from all over the world stay, its 5.000 square meters of greenery today welcome all walkers in search of nature.

A tribute to Albert Schweitzer, Nobel Peace Prize winner in 1952, this “triptych” garden, as its initiator Ariel Weil, mayor (PS) of Paris Center, calls it, brings together the Albert Schweitzer square, the Cité des Arts garden and the garden at the French one of the Hôtel d'Aumont, former Administrative Tribunal of Paris.

Expanded and redeveloped, the park where you can embrace maple and plane trees and walk between its flower beds, has become the haven of peace for the Marais residents before conquering the hearts of all visitors dreaming of green spaces where they can recharge their batteries in the open air. center of Paris.

During Ashtanga Yoga sessions with Callie Mahoney, you feel like you're going to the end of the world, somewhere on a distant island. Normal: this former model who has been practicing yoga since a young age herself comes from Honolulu, the capital of Hawaii, in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.

Then we dance ? Yes, and not with just anyone! During the All Saints' Day holidays, the Nadine Bommer Dance Academy company takes up residence at the Center de Danse du Marais, where we sway our hips in a thousand ways, always with grace and good humor.

Where to swim in the Marais?

Where to swim in the Marais?

With the summer holidays approaching, what could be better than a few swimming sessions to shape a summer body? Unfortunately, the Marais only has one swimming pool on its territory, that of Saint-Merri, opposite Beaubourg (4th). Fortunately, two pools are not far away…

Millet, from the mountains to the Marais

Millet, from the mountains to the Marais

From the top of this outdoor and technical clothing store, a hundred years of family history gaze down upon you. Created in 1921 in Chamonix, the Millet brand is still managed by the family of the same name. It is therefore a bit of French heritage and know-how that arrives from the Alps to settle in the Marais…

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.

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. Besides, there was no American bar like Saka, which cultivates a form of excellence that can only be found in Japan.
