About Canal Saint-Martin
Paris's most atmospheric waterway — a 4.5km tree-lined canal through the 10th arrondissement with arched iron footbridges, lock gates, and the best collection of independent cafés, bookshops, and boutiques in the city. Popular with locals for picnics and weekend strolls; completely untouristy.
