Canal St. Martin

According to our guidebooks, the area around the Canal St. Martin in the 10th is quite hip and very up-and-coming. You can stand at any of the many foot bridges to watch the locks in action when barges come through. And if you're Amélie Poulain, you come here to skip stones when you're feeling down.

Brightly painted Antoine and Lili shops


A chic and popular cafe in the neighborhood.


Aha! This must be where cabbage patch kids come from. Look at these humongous heads of cabbage.
