#254 Snaphots from Paris by Jordan Rondel





Another day in Paris, another adventure. Today my sister and I decided to discover our inner Jews in the quirky, intricate little streets of Le Marais. Being Paris' Jewish quarter Le Marais is filled with Stars of David and all around men wear yalmulkas.

Le Marais has always been one of my favourite areas in Paris for its cute boutiques. We found a really great vintage store selling beautiful fur coats for no more than 40 euro and there was an enormous box of every colour, pattern and style of silk scarf, for just 1 euro each.

I love how coming up to Christmas, Parisians make such an effort to embellish the city with lights and other decorations. In Les Marais every building and telegraph line is adorned with little fairy lights. The festive decorations reminded me that Christmas is just around the corner so I need to get onto my shopping!
