By Thelma Dickman PARIS. France â€" In medieval times the Marais area was the heart of Paris and, although the beat has been allowed to slow over the centuries. today the district makes for a worthwhile day of strolling, looking, sniffing and enjoying. ‘You’re unlikely to encounter many tourists â€" most Paris visitors C-4 â€" THE LIBERAL, Wednesday, April 18 Well, we’ve hardly seen the last of the snow and a tour operator suggests we may like to take a new view of it â€"- on Baffin Island in the Canadian Arctic.

The overnight tour lasts 12 hours, including the 3,000 - mile return trip to Frobisher Bay. Tours leave Toronto on a Saturday evening and are back the following morning.

APRIL 2131- 3 PM. -- HYMN SING o- FEATURING Place de la Bastille contains nothing of the grim fortress prison razed to the ground by revolutionaries. Today it's a terrifying traffic circle with a towering Column of July (a dark 250 steps to the top with only a narrow railing around the small ledge when you get there), and some tracings along the pavement that outline where it used to stand. Cross the place â€" no easy matter, the way Parisians drive â€" walk along the rue St. Antoine a few yards to rue de Birague and turn right. Rubberneck along a block of antique shops and bookstores until you arrive at the Place des Vosges. arguably one of the most beautiful squares in the city. Small and formal. with a fountain splashing quietly. surrounded by severely trimmed plane trees, it's unlike any other city park in the world. and revealing of the character of the French. The Marais is full of hotels particuliers â€" private mansions â€" which were built during the 17th century and largely allowed to go to ruin during the 19th and 20th centuries until after the Second World War‘ Andre Malraux. then minister of culture and also responsible for restoring the blackened buildings of Paris to their original golden stone, put a stop to demolition of the houses and gradually, as garage fronts and warehouse backs were torn away, the magnificently proport- ioned townhouses of Paris‘ wealthy citizens began to emerge. Some of these buildings have been completely restored, while others only show their former beauty by the turn of a staircase or a timbered gallery.

At number 55 and 57 of the same street. you stand in what used to be' the moat surrounding the city of Paris â€" the tall red tower that broods sullenly in the courtyard was part of the old city ramparts. It’s been standing there for 750 years. Have a look at the Musee de Carnavalet. one of the finest of the Marais hotels particulier. and now an interesting Paris museum covering medieval to modern history, with a par- ticularly poignant room filled with the possessions of Marie Antoinette and her family, including some games played by her children during their imprisonment in the days of the Terror, as the Revolution was called. The two hotels par- ticulier of Sully and de Sens are the last two private mansions in Paris to survive from the Middle Ages. and the Hotel de Beauvais at 68 rue Francois-Miran shouldn‘t be missed. Surrounded today by food shops and pushcarts (this is a Tunisian quarter, full of unusual sounds and smells, and perfectly safe for walkers), the house was built for Catherine Bellier, the one-eyed maid, masseuse and confidante of Anne of Austria. queen of France, Safety. security Outstanding Child Care for ages 6 wks. to 6 yrs.
