Directions: Exit the church and cross Rue Saint-Antoine. Continue walking straight, down Rue de Sévigne. Make a direct right onto Rue d'Ormesson. You should find yourself on a quaint square, la Place du Marché Sainte-Catherine. Yes, there are a lot of saints on this tour. The Square The Place du Marché Sainte-Catherine is an example of how quaint and village-like the Marais can be-- though during weekends and high tourist season, this is not always the case. Enjoy the cheerful atmosphere of the square. You may see neighborhood kids bounding about: this is a favorite spot for play. Interesting Facts: Built in the 13th century, in honor of Saint Catherine The buildings surrounding the square are recent, in Parisian terms anyway: they date to the 18th century. The square was made pedestrian-only last century. Since then, it has become a favorite spot for laid-back, greenery-enhanced sipping and nibbling. Take an opportunity to do so here, if you'd like. |
