Parts of the Marais (4e arrondissemet) are characterized by narrow streets and alleys that wind between magnificent buildings dating back to the 17th century. In the 1950s, the area had deteriorated into a slum and was destined to be demolished. Fortunately this was opposed by many and in the mid-60s, a programme of renovation was launched to save the area which has subsequently become one of the most popular tourist attractions of Paris.
