Canal Saint-Martin

This quaint, cobbled-streeted corner of town winding from République up to Stalingrad has transformed from under-the-radar spot to must-visit destination over recent years. Boasting a notably slower pace of life than elsewhere in Paris, the bicycle friendly Canal Saint-Martin has become a foodie hit thanks to its numerous cute organic wine and cheese stores, craft coffeeshops and canal side restaurants serving world cuisine. If you like to eat, this is the place for you. But it’s not all just food food food - Buttes-Chamont park with its waterfalls, grottos and Italian style temple is a great place to take a stroll and burn off some of those just added calories. If you’re feeling particularly active, you can rent a Vélib bike and cycle all the way up to La Villette and beyond. Citizen Hotel, Hotel du Nord, Ten Belles coffee shops, Bob’s Bake Shop, Chez Prune, Centre Commercial and Holybely are just some of unique places to stop by in Canal Saint-Martin.
