Life in the 10th arrondissement
Young, creative Paris around the Canal Saint-Martin: terraces on the quays, bars, music venues and the Saint-Martin market. Very lively and superbly connected (M2, 4, 5, 7, RER B, D, E and the Gare du Nord and Gare de l'Est — unbeatable for travelling). Daily life is buzzy and on-trend, with a real food and aperitif scene along the water. The important nuance: some corners near the stations are less pleasant at night, and here the choice of street changes everything. Ideal for singles and young couples who want atmosphere and maximum connectivity; with a family, aim for the quiet streets around Sainte-Marthe.

The canal at the weekend (quays, Point Éphémère), but locals prefer rue Sainte-Marthe and the Saint-Martin market. Take care near Gare du Nord/Est at night.
