The enchanting Parisian quarter Le Marais was first civilised and cultivated by the religious orders. Le Marais then became the favoured haunt of the royal family and its court. But fashion changed and Le Marais was abandoned by the aristocracy and the court. Thereafter the quarter was invaded by artisans and small industry. Today Le Marais is much in vogue with young fashion creators and many trendy bars. The Marais has fully rediscovered its splendid architecture after some 40 years of preservation and renovation....

Tonight, SUNDAY 12at 21.45 do not miss on France 5 television the film I contributed to a year ago, with filmmaker Laurent Lefebvre, Jean Marc Léri, ex-curator of Carnavalet Museum, Jack Lang and many other experts, including myself as the touristic expert of Le Marais! I've spend 4 days for this film and I must say that a lot of scenes were cut off, but I present the best and longest part : the final. If you share my opinions, please like this post and share it. It's still time to say stop to the globalisation that kills the soul of Le Marais. We need and love diversity ! Here' s the film on Vimeo.

FABRIC Hotel Paris is located on the rue de la Folie-Méricourt, between the Place de la Republique and the Place de la Bastille, in the 11th district of the capital.
Transformed into a stylish and boldly designed hotel, the building has lost nothing of the charms of former days. Much of the period structure and architectural details have been retained. The metallic framework, the large, multi-paned windows, brick-built walls and raw materials are powerfully evocative of the formerly industrial nature of the rue de la Folie-Méricourt. The architect Vincent Bastie, with interior designers Agnès Louboutin and Patrice Henry, has maintained the functional ambience and blended it with an inspiring modernity.
As they make their way to their rooms, our guests are reminded of a secret, bygone night-time Paris of neon, cabarets and theatres.
