Going on vacation, yes… but not without taking a few items “made in Le Marais” in your suitcase! Far from home, certain products, often organic and quality, prove useful and comforting. They can also be used as gifts to give. And, in any case, it is good to support the merchants in our neighborhood!

One or more bars of soap slipped into your suitcase is guaranteed to perfume your clothes. These ecological products are free of palm oil but enriched with organic shea butter.

After using them all summer, these soaps with delicate scents (mint-fig, neroli-orange blossom, rose-geranium, coconut-frangipani, etc.) then become, in the depths of winter, Proust madeleines which remind us of the good times spent on vacation.

• The mini-bag from rue de Bretagne •
We love everything about the stand of this small leather craftsman who has worked for major shoe makers. For more than ten years, Stéphane has been selling his own creations, sober and elegant, right in front of the Enfants-Rouges market. Its collections of pouches, pencil cases, card holders and glasses cases invite you to spend because the prices are reasonable. (from 10 to 130€). A perfect gift. Our favorite piece: the ultra-sober cowhide velvet bag (matte or shiny) made in front of passers-by. The choice is yours: mini, medium or large.

• Sakhina M'sa's pink sweatshirt •
This Marseille-based stylist of Comorian origin is always ahead of the trends. She was one of the first to set up her store on rue Volta (3e) when the sector was little used. Its ready-to-wear house, which takes its social responsibilities, promotes creations 90% from upcycling and 100% made in France. We like: the powder pink sweatshirt with the inscription Support my Girl Gang in organic cotton. Perfect for “chilling” in the evening.

• Maison Bourgeat: “stylish” glasses •
This French eyewear maker has been designing and manufacturing glasses (frames and lenses) since 1879 in his workshops in the Morez valley, in the Jura, for Balmain, Lanvin and Saint-Laurent.
Taken over in 2017 by an optician, the brand offers three ranges: tailor-made, industrialized tailor-made and models for less than €100. All are sold with corrective lenses designed by Oscar Esteves, best worker in France.
The prices are fair and reasonable, which is worth emphasizing: as a general rule, opticians, certain of being reimbursed by social security and mutual insurance companies, charge shameless margins, sometimes up to 70%. We love the design of “too stylish” sunglasses.

• Roseanna: “so chic” swimsuits •
Roseanne is one of those responsible brands whose good deeds we like to follow. During the first confinement, it donated 10% of its turnover to the emergency fund of the AP-HP Foundation, in order to support research and healthcare staff.
In its store on rue Froissart, a printed swimsuit, made from Liberty of London silk crepe, is popular. Available in two pieces (Music) or in a one-piece version (Falcon). The first, with a bikini cut and the second, with its deep neckline enhance the silhouettes.
€40 for the top, €35 for the bottom, €150 for the one-piece.

3 Belgian addresses in the Marais
Whether they are Walloons or Flemish, the French love the Belgians for their energy and their communicative good humor. Here are some Belgian addresses firmly established in the Marais.
The Top 3 jewelry stores/workshops
Le Marais, where jewelry was already made under the Ancien Régime, remains faithful to tradition. Look closely: almost every street has one or more jewelry stores. If only for the pleasure of the eyes, you must stop in front of their window to appreciate this French know-how inherited from previous centuries.
Topology, accessories designed for adventure
An accessories store, Topologie was created by Carlos Granon, a Frenchman based in Hong Kong, and Go Urano, a Japanese from Tokyo, two childhood friends who are passionate about climbing. After having been distributed at Merci, Fleux and elsewhere in Paris, their products are now sold in their own flagship store which has just opened...
NOW ON THE MOOD MARSH
Victor Hugo, the writer with a thousand talents
Born in 1802, Victor Hugo became a social writer, a playwright, a poet, a novelist and a romantic designer. Nicknamed the man-ocean then the man-century, he is a political figure and a committed intellectual. He found success with Notre-Dame-de-Paris in 1831 and with Les Misérables in 1862.
The best tattoo parlors in Marais
Tattooing, an age-old practice, has long been the prerogative of convicts, dock workers, the underworld and sailors. Although it has become democratized, now affecting all profiles and concerning one in five French people, including 16% women compared to 10% men, it still remains taboo due to its definitive and transgressive nature.
Juliette Drouet actress, muse and mistress of Victor Hugo
At 14 rue Sainte-Anastase, from 1836 to 45 and at 12 from 1845 to 48, a few hundred meters from Place des Vosges, lived the muse and lover of Victor Hugo, Juliette Drouet née Julienne Gauvain.
