Rue Vieille-du-Temple
The artery of the upper Marais, Rue Vieille-du-Temple mixes 17th-century mansions with contemporary shops: galleries, fashion designers, cafés. It is one of the streets where historic Marais best dialogues with its current life.
At number 24, the Hôtel de Rohan has one of the finest carriage gates in the district. The street is an ideal route between Place de la République and Rue de Rivoli, avoiding the flows of the main arteries.
