3rd Arrondissement
The 3rd, while bigger than the 2nd is much more densely populated. It has over 34,000 people squeezed into less than 1.2 square kilometers. This is another ancient part of the city, with parts of it still dating back to the 12th century around the northern Marais area.
| In the old “Temple” district once stood the citadel of the Knights Templar which struck terror into the hearts of French Royalty until they were executed en masse. Where once the lofty fortress stood is now a Haussmanian covered market called the "Carré du Temple", brimming with small tailor shops, restaurants and other outdoor markets.
|
| The Sentier district bleeds over to the Art et Metiers area in the north and the southern edge of the arrondissement leads to the walking streets around the Pompidou museum (Beaubourg Centre) and the uppermost part of the Marais (marsh). |
