Rue de Picardie is situated in the Quartier du Temple, the northern section of the Marais between the Place de la République and Arts-et-Métiers. It is ideally located to explore the varied neighbourhoods of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th districts of Paris. The Quartier du Temple was once a fortified, semi-independent entity under the Knights Templar, until the order grew so powerful it rivaled the monarchy and it was suppressed in 1313 by Philippe le Bel. Their Templar Tower was razed in 1808, and the Carreau du Temple market built in its place in 1857 by Baron Haussmann, along with the Mairie for the 3rd arrondissement and the Square du Temple. Within short walk, The Marché des Enfants-Rouges (Market of Red Children!) is the oldest covered market in Paris, dating back to 1615 (that’s Louis XIII for the slow ones!). After a six year period of closure and threatened with the prospect of being levelled, this historic market was saved, refurbished, and re-opened only a few years ago, thanks to the insistence of local residents. Explore the finest of chocolate shops, health foods, cheeses, flowers, and oysters. And if you’re wondering about the name, well, the kids in the local orphanage in the 17th century wore red uniforms. You can also visit the Square du Temple park (corner of Rue du Temple and Rue de Bretagne) created in the mid-19th century great for leisurely stroll and for children which is wonderful in spring and summer. Just next door is The Marais, considered one of Paris’ “quartier branché” –hip- neighbourhoods with its many trendy boutiques, cafés and restaurants and home to the Musée Carnavalet (Paris history museum) and the Place des Vosges the beautiful royal square constructed under Henri IV in 1605.
