Le Marais

Our trip to Paris was motivated by two museums: the Musée Marmottan Monet, a human-scale museum where you can get up close with the works of Monet (like the famous "Impression Soleil Levant") and other Impressionists like Gauguin, Sisley, Pissarro, Renoir, and Morisot.

The other is the Guimet Museum of Asian Art, a global reference point for Asian art and home to an incredible collection. The building itself is magnificent and full of natural light which helps show off the works in a tasteful and natural way without interfering with the didactic nature of the museum.

Lots of small shops, arts and nice bars to go and dance to! Very close to the center of
París (châtelet, Pompidou, hotel de ville...)
