Top 10 Sights & Landmarks in Saint-Vincent-de-Paul, Ile-de-France
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.

Situated on the right bank of the River Seine, the arrondissement contains two of Paris's six main railway stations: the Gare du Nord and the Gare de l'Est. Built during the 19th century, these two termini are among the busiest in Europe. The 10th arrondissement also contains a large portion of the Canal Saint-Martin, linking the northeastern parts of Paris with the River Seine.

We could say something trite about life not being all about food - but it’s Paris - life here really is all about the food, for us the 10th Arr, is the go to place for good food, (restaurants) and excellent value for groceries, (we also couldn't venture to far due to the train strike), as it turns out this multicultural area, by far had best value within walking distance, Rue Saint Denis is a road of many colours, with its cheap clothing shops, selling there wares, as the night comes in the oldest profession in the world comes on offer. Bouillon Julien - is the place for an incredible dinner in an amazing Art Nouveau restaurant from 1906. Their slogan is everything is beautiful, good and not dear - we’d have to agree. we’ve visited one of Paris’s hidden secrets several times, we could can have 3 courses with wine for €40-€50 between two - yippee! Hitomi - ‘all you can order’ for €34 between two. We’ve visited a total of 3 times during our current Paris sojourn and have visited many times over the last 5 years... they may have posters of us in the kitchen but we usually relax when the table next to us orders enough food for a football team. We think their least favourite clients are teenage males - the foodie equivalent to black holes. We assauge our sushi/gyoza/yakatori urges at Hitomi - after all, one of our many slogans is ‘when we think of Paris, we dream of sushi’. Epicerie du Faubourg - the Turkish bread man (both the bread and the man who sells it are Turkish), we would look forward to visiting this shop, leaving with a bag full of warm, bread straight from the oven. At excellent value. Le Verger Saint Denis - the inexpensive fruiterer, on St Denis, we would walk into the 10th, to get the best value on products. Lidl - Within Paris there are squillions of supermarkets, big, small and everything in between - and then there are the Lidls. It’s a pleasant 20-25 minute dawdle up Rue St Denis to get to our closest Lidl and once we load up the shopping trolley a bit of a slower slog back - but for the prices - definitely worth it. Things to do: Place de la Republique, monumental attraction. Porte Saint Denis, monumental arch. Passage Brady, covered passage. Canal St Martin, compared to the king of canal towns, Amsterdam, it’s obviously no comparison, however. But as canals in Paris go - it’s the best. Originally designed to keep the riff-raff well away from the nice people, it’s now a very scenic spot for a long walk. Entertainment is provided by the periodic opening and closing of the locks and the nifty ‘road’ bridges that swing back and forth letting cars and other traffic cross the canal easily. It was a superb day weather-wise and we had a great time meandering along.

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.
