LES ARCHIVES

Located in the Marais, the Archives district has preserved the Parisian history while combining tradition and innovation.

The name of this district comes from the presence of the National Archives in its heart. The Archives Museum and its magnificent garden have become a real escape from the stress of daily life. It offers more than 10 million digitized images tracing the history of Paris and its inhabitants.

Culture has an important place which is illustrated by the presence of galleries each asserting their styles such as Thaddaeus Ropac, Emmanuel Perrotin or Polka. On weekends, we like to stroll in its small pedestrian streets and its unsuspected places.

This district, enjoying a unique vitality, offers a living environment with multiple assets, including a singular architecture, in which skillfully cohabit private mansions, museums, shopping streets and green spaces. The Hôtel de la Soubise, built by the architect Pierre-Alexis Delamair, and the Hôtel Salé, which houses the famous Picasso Museum, are examples of the district’s must-see buildings.
