The French Hot Spot
Nestled in the trendy Arts et Métiers neighborhood of the Marais
Central Locale
Maison Chapon is ideally situated in the heart of Paris in the 3rd Arrondissement in the center of the Marais. As your journey begins through the charming Passage de l’Ancre, a hidden cobblestoned passage dating back to the early 17th century with an array of bespoke, French ateliers, you will quickly get swept up in the historical neighborhood and architectural sights. Situated on a quiet and secure street, just blocks from the Centre Pompidou, the neighborhood really comes alive during Paris fashion weeks as many galleries on rue Chapon host exhibits, pop-ups and hip soirees. Just adjacent are central Metro and bus lines and a taxi stand for easy transportation options.

After emerging from the Passage de l’Ancre, you cross the rue Saint-Martin to continue along the rue Chapon, a street dating back to the early 13th century with several hôtel particuliers and petite maisons, now various independent art galleries, leather goods boutiques, artisanal cafés and bistros. Just a five minute walk in any direction will lead you to an array of small boutiques, larger stores and absolutely anything and everything your heart desires!
