Lingering over pain au chocolat in a sidewalk café, relaxing after a day of strolling along the Seine and marveling at icons like the Eiffel Tower and the Arc de Triomphe… the perfect Paris experience combines leisure and liveliness with enough time to savor both an exquisite meal and exhibits at the Louvre. Awaken your spirit at Notre Dame, bargain hunt at the Marché aux Puces de Montreuil or for goodies at the Marché Biologique Raspail, then cap it all off with a risqué show at the Moulin Rouge.

Running parallel with Canal Saint Martin, this walkway, is perfect for meandering along, especially on a sunny day, watching the locks open, transferring boats through. Definitely a must when in Paris.

This picturesque canal, an extension of the River Seine, is a pleasant place for a boat ride or a summer stroll.
Canal Saint-Martin sits in the 10th arrondissement and is such a great neighborhood. Normally we stay in the 8th in a nice little hotel. However this time we were traveling with my son, so we air b &b’ed it. Did I mention I loved this neighborhood? It was great. We woke up every morning and headed to one of the 10 best patisseries (according to Forbes) where the baker him self handed us out pistachio chocolate escargots. Evenings we would grab a bottle of rose and have a drink along the canal with the locals

Speaking and understanding just very rudimentary French I could navigate and figure out the station without diffculty. A pretty, single-floored building, it has all the tracks run from one side of the building to the other and in logical numeric order and then divided into three main categories. You watch the monitors to see which track your train will leave from and what time its boarding (like Penn Station in NYC). There is an ATM, grocery store, many decent cafes and shops. What I really appreciated is that there was seating nearby viewing the monitors which allowed people to sit and rest while waiting. I took the TGV to Strasbourg and had bought my e-ticket ahead of the trip. When my train and its track were listed as "boarding" I went through the electronic stalls and scanned my ticket before forwarding to the track. After boarding the train there was no need to scan my ticket an additional time, I was all set. It was very efficeint and well organized overall. My experience at the Strasbourg station was different as it was not as well laid out and effecient. By the way I traveled alone (am a woman) and felt safe in the train station.
