Le Marais (English: The Marsh) is a historic district of Paris, France. It was located in the north-east of the city and consisted of the Temple, Marais, and Arsenal sub-districts. One major landmark was the Hôtel de Ville, which was the center of the Jacobin Club's Paris Commune.

Located in the heart of Paris, the district flourished as a fashionable area thanks to the aristocrats who lived there. Even after the nobility abandoned it in the 18th century, Le Marais retained its image as an aristocratic district.[1]

By the French Revolution, the abandoned townhouses were taken up by merchants to form warehouses or workshops while preserving the beautiful homes. As a result, the district came to be inhabited by more modest people who kept shops or practiced craft trades, which in turn gave way to the small factories and semi-industrialized trades of the 19th century.[1]
