What you'll do
Join a like-minded local who will share this enclave with you, where young Parisians really live - this area is popular with students, young creatives and freelancers who have joined the artists and bohemians who have always loved living by the water in this 19th century district.
Exploring the neighbourhoods around the canal will give you a real taste of what life is like as a Parisian; do like the locals do and stop by boulangeries, fromageries and delis to pick up the makings of a delicious picnic, then grab a bottle of wine and eat and drink in true local style, simply sitting on the banks of the canal!
Or if you’d prefer, your local will take you to a canal-side bar where tiny tables spill out onto terraces, or a subterranean wine bar where you can enjoy small tapas style plates along with organic wines.
With its truly unique vibe and laissez faire attitude, you’ll feel like a Parisian yourself as you stroll along, watching the world go by, perusing the concept stores and independent boutiques, pausing to savour a glass of wine or an espresso.
Discover this 19th century waterway as its meant to be enjoyed, with a glass of wine and a laid back attitude! You’ll quickly see how the area has transformed from a hidden treasure to a trendy hotspot filled with some of the city’s best restaurants and shops.
