Luxury holidays in Canal Saint-Martin

Yann Tiersen’s nostalgic ivory-tickling might drift into your head as you wander by Canal Saint-Martin’s waterways: its cast-iron bridges and narrow boulevards provide a whimsical backdrop for stone skimming in Amélie. Boat rides run its length, even ducking into the subterranean sections, and cafés line the sides. If you were hoping for a serene afternoon à la the charmant film’s hero, avoid the weekend, when brunchers mean lively conversation and tables spilling onto streets.
