Tour de France: Paris, 3ème – Kasia Dietz
The 3rd arrondissement (75003), often referred to as the haut Marais, has been moving the buzz of the Marais northward. With places like the unexpected Musée de la Chasse et de la Nature, or Merci and Bonton redefining creative retail, and Candelaria making waves as Paris’s first real taqueria, the 3rd is alive and kicking. Fresh back from her magical Italian wedding and Greek honeymoon, we’re lucky enough to have Kasia Dietz as our guide to give us a glimpse inside the heart of the 3ème.


Worth checking out in the 3rd:
- Eat/drink : Marche des Enfants Rouge for its history & diversity in food
- Cafe : Cafe Creme for its cool ‘local’ vibe and a good ‘cafe creme’! (Le Progres is a hot Marais spot too!)
- Favorite shop : Ofr. for inspiration (and Merci for its space and ambiance)
P.S. Kasia on Boarding Pass!
Thanks, Kasia!

Such an interesting area, the Marais – lots of quirky modern boutiques but also a great place to step back in time and get completely lost with just a camera and your imagination…

Great photos. What a shock to see the contrast of modern graffiti on such old architecture.

The Marais will always be my favorite part of Paris. It’s where I stay each time and it feels like home.

Honored to share my ‘rive droite’ neighborhood on your series! Even before moving to Paris, I always gravitated towards the Marais, and imagined one day to live there. And… voila! :)

I went to the Marché des Enfants Rouges for the first time this year and loved it. Such a great place if you’re hesitant about what to eat for lunch! Merci is still on my “to do” list. I’ve heard so many good thigs about it.
