Lonely Planet review

When renovation of the Marais began in the late 1960s, the area around rues des Rosiers and des Écouffes - traditionally known as the Pletzl and home to a poor but vibrant Jewish community - was pretty run-down. Now fancy boutiques coexist with Jewish bookstores and kosher butchers' shops, restaurants and felafel joints.

The area is very quiet on the Sabbath (sundown Friday to sundown Saturday).
