The 3rd arrondissement of Paris, in the Haut Marais. Google Maps.
The 3rd arrondissement covers the northern part of the Marais, one of the oldest districts in Paris and one spared by the Haussmann-era clearances. The area was built up from the Middle Ages, then filled with private mansions in the 17th and 18th centuries, when the aristocracy had its residences built there.
The district keeps a dense architectural heritage: private mansions, cobbled courtyards, the Musée Carnavalet, the Musée Picasso and the Conservatoire national des arts et métiers. The marché des Enfants Rouges, the oldest covered market in Paris, and the art galleries of the rue de Bretagne bring life to a Haut Marais that has become one of the most sought-after parts of the centre.
Today, the 3rd appeals for its village feel, its preserved heritage and its shopping life. The old building stock, mostly pre-Haussmann, attracts a wealthy, cosmopolitan clientele.
The district attracts executives and professionals seeking a heritage setting with plenty of life, investors targeting long-term or seasonal letting, and a cosmopolitan clientele drawn to the atmosphere of the Haut Marais. The scarcity of large units in the old building stock steers part of the demand towards studios and one-bedroom flats, which are very easy to resell.
