Where to stay in Le Marais: six hotels by street, with room sizes and the nearest metro

💡 The Short Version: Le Marais is on the Right Bank, in the 3rd and 4th arrondissements, and you choose by street. The Place des Vosges and Saint-Paul (the Pavillon de la Reine, the Hôtel Jeanne d’Arc, the Hôtel Emile) has metro line 1 and the Picasso and Carnavalet museums within a few minutes’ walk. Rue Vieille-du-Temple (the Caron de Beaumarchais) is the closest to Notre-Dame, about 600 m. Rue de Poitou in the Haut Marais (the Hôtel du Petit Moulin) is next to the Musée Picasso, with rooms from 20 m². Rue du Grenier Saint-Lazare (the Hôtel Georgette) is on the Beaubourg edge, on metro lines 11 and 4. Rooms are small: 13 to 17 m² is normal for a double, so check the size of the category you book. Le Marais is not on the RER B: from Charles de Gaulle change at Châtelet–Les Halles for metro line 1 or 11.
