I posted earlier in the week about my day in Disneyland but I also spent some time in the very lovely Marias district. Le Marais is a pretty cool area of Paris known for its concentrated presence of gays, Jews and fashionable young people. There is so much going on there from museums, parks, restaurants and lovely second hand shops that you could easily spend a whole weekend here.
The shops are open on Sunday but don't open until around 11am on weekdays so it's best to arrive in the afternoon if you want to soak up some atmosphere. I did a walking tour of the area which you can find here. It was great, easy to follow and lasts for about 2.5 hours but if you're stopping for lunch and window shopping you could drag it out all day.
Rue des Rosiers
St.Paul-St.-Louis Church, the Church is one of the oldest examples of Jesuit architecture in Paris.
