The tenth district of Paris It is not a particularly touristy district, so you won't find any major attractions or famous museums there. This doesn't mean, of course, that there is nothing to see there.
The Canal Saint-Martin area is charming (although more for entertainment than for walking around). In this area you can see boats sailing on the canal, couples sitting along the bank and places to hang out are scattered everywhere. If you continue a little north you will discover the 17th century Hospital Saint-Louis, built of red bricks, just like the ones used to build the Place de Vosges. And if all this wasn't enough for you, you are welcome To imitate Emily And try to bounce stones on the canal water.
Is the Canal Saint-Martin area the only interesting area in the 10th arrondissement of Paris? Absolutely not. As you will see below, the neighborhood between the Gare du Nord (Paris' northern train station) and the 10th arrondissement also contains some hidden gems.
So even if you don't have high expectations from this neighborhood, let's get started and make the most of it.
