7. Marais Walk 1

First stop was Hotel de Sens, I didn't think this was anything special since it looked like all the pther buildings but it was nice to see it. This was built for the archbishop of Paris who needed a nice private residence to stay in. We then walked down rue Charlemagne where we saw a piece of the wall Philippe Auguste built to protect Paris.

We then made our way to the l'eglise Saint-Paul Saint-Louis. It was a pretty church that had some nice paintings. We then made our way out and went to Hotel de Sully which was completed in 1630 for the minster of fiance for Henri IV. Sully was really pretty and it was nice to be in a smaller museum/ really cool home. We then made our way over to the Place des Vosges, a pretty park. We didn't stop to smell the roses since there wasn't any and it was freezing, but it was still a nice park.

We then headed to Hotel Carnavalet which was a lot like the Sully museum. It was another nice small museum that had good vies of gardens and great interiors. Thats how I felt when I went to the last Hotel d'Angouleme. I liked this walk but I felt like Marais 2 and 1 over lapped too much.
