CultureParis neighbourhoods: The charming 3rd arrondissement

Genie Godula and Florence Villeminot continue their tour of Paris in this edition of French Connections, stopping in the 3rd arrondissement. The district offers a quieter, more local side of the Marais and ranks among the oldest neighbourhoods in the French capital. Medieval history meets contemporary creativity here. The walk ranges from the Knights Templar and fashion designers to royal prisoners, food lovers and museums that are both fascinating and sometimes quirky.
