Place Sainte-Marthe

In the heart of the Sainte-Marthe district, this small square in the 10th arrondissement still looks like a 19th-century working-class village, with low houses in bright colours.

Long modest and working-class, it has become a hub of friendly restaurants and bars without losing its intimate scale.

Tip: come in the early evening, when the terraces come alive. Allow 20 minutes, combined with the nearby Canal Saint-Martin.
