The Secret Gardens of Le Marais

Tucked behind grand façades and historic mansions, the Marais hides some of Paris’s most enchanting secret gardens. From the peaceful Jardin Anne Frank, just steps from the bustle of Rue Beaubourg, to the elegant Jardin Lazare Rachline beside the Musée Cognacq-Jay, each space offers a tranquil escape from city life. Stroll through the romantic Jardin des Arts, or visit Jardin des Rosiers – Joseph-Migneret, rich with history and remembrance. Jardin de l'Hôtel Lamoignon charms with its solar-powered light show, while Square Saint-Gilles Grand Veneur surprises with roses and quiet benches. Finally, the expansive Jardin des Archives Nationales blends classical design with peaceful lawns. These gardens are perfect for resting weary feet, soaking in culture, and discovering a lesser-known, greener side of Paris

Around The Web

An Immersive Art Experience in Paris

From February 14 to July 6, 2025, the Turkish collective Nohlab presents Journey, an immersive digital art experience exploring the genesis of photons and their transformation into energy perceived by the brain.

Secrets of the Saint-Paul-Saint-Louis church

Founded by the Jesuits in 1580, the Saint-Paul-Saint-Louis Church was rebuilt in the 17th century with land provided by Louis XIII. Inspired by the Gesù Church in Rome, its construction was led by Jesuit architects Martellange and Derand, culminating in the striking facade admired today

Alchemist and Parisian Legend

Nicolas Flamel, a real historical figure and wealthy philanthropist, became famous for his association with alchemy and the Philosopher’s Stone. While many legends surround his life, including the mysterious Book of Abraham, his legacy lives on in Parisian streets named after him and his wife, Perenelle

Cave Arthus et Jean

Arthus et Jean isn't just a cellar, it's a whole world, nestled in the heart of the Haut-Marais. It's a friendly place with a clear, easy-to-understand offer, attentive cellarmen and tasting workshops to help you (re)discover wine in a very simple way

Musée du Quai Branly

Non-European collections, once housed in private cabinets of curiosities, were transferred to public museums after the French Revolution. The musée du Quai Branly - Jacques Chirac now preserves nearly 370,000 works

The Untamed Isle of Corsica

Corsica is France—but not like you know it. Towering granite peaks crash into turquoise seas, wild herbs scent the air, and the sound of traditional polyphonic singing drifts through stone villages. Known as l’Île de Beauté (the Isle of Beauty), Corsica is a fiercely proud land shaped by centuries of resistance, independence, and raw natural splendour. From the ancient citadel of Calvi to the clifftop drama of Bonifacio, every corner feels alive with story. Whether you're hiking mountain trails or diving into coastal coves, Corsica stirs the soul
