Canal Saint-Martin

Is Canal Saint-Martin worth it in a day?

Worth itIn a day

Even on a tight schedule, Canal Saint-Martin earns the hours.

Allow 2–3 hrs.

This is where Parisians actually hang out: tree-lined quays, hipster cafés and bars, and locals picnicking with wine on the canal banks at golden hour. Few headline sights — the point is the unhurried, lived-in mood the marquee areas lack.
