Rue de Charonne
From Bastille to Nation, Rue de Charonne has become in fifteen years one of the most sought-after streets for independent fashion and specialty coffee. Between trendy shops survive the artisan courtyards and passages that bear witness to the old Faubourg Saint-Antoine.
The atmosphere is less touristy than in the Marais, more local and creative. The Aligre market, a few steps away, perfectly extends the stroll.
Tip: allow 30 to 45 minutes with shopping and coffee breaks. On Sunday mornings, the nearby Aligre market is in full swing.
