The Canal St. Martin deserves much more attention than it sometimes gets. It’s much less crowded than its big brother–the river Seine–and remains, in our opinion, one of Paris’ most authentic areas, with charming cafés, artisanal shops, and eateries that locals cherish far beyond the tourist-driven establishments Seine-side. The neighborhoods around the Canal, especially the 10th arrondissement, are a tree-lined conglomeration of some of Paris’ best bakeries, artisan shops and residencies.

The neighborhood caters to local customers–not tourists–and the extra attention shows. New York Habitat has a long-standing relationship with the quarter and has several accommodations in the 10th arrondissement, near the iconic Canal St. Martin and its neighborhoods.
