Aire protégée depuis 1962 par le ministre de la Culture, André Malraux, le Marais, issu d’un marais asséché au IXᵉ siècle lorsque le maraîchage s’est développé pour répondre aux besoins d’une société en pleine croissance, s’est transformé en un quartier florissant et vivant, accueillant différentes communautés : Juifs, Chinois et LGBT. Aujourd’hui encore, on y trouve des luxueux hôtels particuliers, symbole de la présence de la noblesse jusqu’au XVIIᵉ siècle.
