Paris Canal St-Martin And Surrounds (10ème)

Try to stay on big streets and avoid heading to the Metro on back streets in the 10ème late at night. Pickpockets, muggers, and scumbags abound.

L'Atmosphère, 49 rue Lucien Sampaix 01 40 38 09 25 This delightful little bar looks out on the picturesque Canal St-Martin. There's no better place to watch the world—and the disappointing amount of trash in the canal—go by. The waitstaff somehow manages to combine characteristic Parisian efficiency with a warm and welcoming attitude, a real rarity in this city. Takes credit cards. Serves alcohol.
