This district is perhaps one of the most energetic. It is a location of 17th century structures and houses where once lived many world famous person. The most pleasant place in the area is Place des Vosges that is only a part of a giant ensemble of thirty six Rennaissance palaces. There are fountains and statues, beautiful architecture, big park area. By the way, it is the oldest Paris square where in previous days you could see Victor Hugo or Madame de Sevigné walking.

Going from the palaces it’d better to visit the National Picasso Museum and the Carnavalet. The latter is dedicated to the history of the city and contains some of the greatest collections of art.
The biggest part of the vicinity is taken by celebrity Le Marais that spreads also across the 4th district. This quarter has a very long history but today it is a major Jewish community centre in Paris.

There are the synagogues, Jewish restaurants with kosher food, bookshops and other national features. A little bit to the North of the district you will see Paris’s gay village with cafés, bars, shopping. And of course, Passage du Grand Cerf that is known by its best flea markets in the whole city.

4th district seems to be especially amazing because of the wide canal system and beautiful sceneries from the right bank of the Seine. Also, this arrondissment should be surely included into every tourist route due to the number of sights.

First of all, it is Hôtel-de-Ville. This building has been the house for Paris administration since 1357. But the whole structure was damaged into a fire of Paris Commune. Today, besides the restored facade, beautiful square behind it and some theme sculptures in the yard, you can see a department store called Hôtel de Ville, the Rue de Rivoli, the St-Gervais Church on the left side of the building and Bazar de Hôtel de Ville nearby.

The second sight will be the Centre Pompidou which is notable mainly by its unusual modern style. And the third one is Place de la Bastille that is a place of crossing more than ten streets and avenues. And, don’t forget to have a look at the Colonne de Juilllet which was established in commemoration of July Revolution in 1830.

Also we advise you to visit some old Paris areas like the Ile St. Louis and the Ile de la Cité that are considered to be the place where Paris was appeared. By the way, the amateurs of celebrity musical may drop at the most famous cathedral in the world Notre Dame Cathedral.
