Canal Saint-Martin
Walk along the tree-lined canal, crossing the iron footbridges and watching the locks operate. This is the Paris locals love — relaxed, picturesque, and away from the crowds.
Holybelly
2 min from the canal. Paris's best brunch spot. The pancakes with bacon and eggs are legendary. Expect a queue on weekends — it's worth the wait.
Ten Belles
5 min walk. Speciality coffee roasters with a beautiful corner location. The filter coffee and homemade cakes are exceptional. Grab a window seat and linger.
Artazart Design Bookshop
Right on the canal. Browse art, design, and photography books in this airy canal-side shop. Pick up a print or a zine as a memento.

Holybelly queue was 40 min on a Saturday — arrive before 10am or go on a weekday, seriously
Ten Belles filter coffee is legit some of the best in Paris. Grabbed a window seat and just watched the canal for a while, really nice pace 😌
Their cinnamon roll is also incredible if they still have it.
