The Herse d’Or guide · 4 min read

# Le Marais with children

The district is pedestrian and easy to visit in short stages: gardens, water and room to run, close to the hotel.

## A garden to run in

The garden of [Place des Vosges](https://www.hotel-herse-dor.com/en/blog/place-des-vosges-guide) (100 m) is the natural first stop: lawns, benches, fountains and arcades for shelter.

## Walking above the street, watching the boats

The [Promenade plantée](https://www.hotel-herse-dor.com/en/blog/bastille-and-the-promenade-plantee) is a walk above the streets. Further down, the [Arsenal marina](https://www.hotel-herse-dor.com/en/blog/from-bastille-to-the-arsenal-and-canal-saint-martin) lets you watch the boats without traffic.

## To Notre-Dame via Île Saint-Louis

The [walk to Notre-Dame](https://www.hotel-herse-dor.com/en/blog/on-foot-to-notre-dame-and-ile-saint-louis) takes under 20 minutes: quays, bridges and the ice-cream shops of Île Saint-Louis. Plan some breaks.
