Hotel Carnavalet
Hotel Carnavalet
We leave the square at its north west corner and walk Rue des Francs-Bourgeois to Hôtel Carnavalet at our right.
Built in 1644 when the Mannerist style was developing into the French Château style. It was given its appearance by the well known architect Mansart. The original part of the mansion was built around a courtyard which is behind the main entrance. Later other wings were added so that the palace became a square and a crucifix around four courtyards.
The palace is now a museum of the history of Paris with exquisite antique furniture
Rue des Rosiers
We retrace our steps to Rue des Francs-Bourgeois, go past the museum and then immediately turn left along Rue Pavée and at once to the right along Rue des Rosiers.
Rue de Rosiers
The main Jewish street of Paris. Some synagogues and Middle Eastern shops and Hebrew book shops are in the street and also in the side street to the left, Rue des Ecouffes.
