Walking along the waterways is always a pleasure, especially now that the weather has warmed up and the trees and flowers are starting to bloom. Even on an overcast day, the paths along the waterways make for pleasant strolls.
Canal St. Martin has plenty of places for small children to play
and lots of pétanque areas for big kids.
With cafés along the water, you can just indulge in the popular sport of lounging
and soaking in the view of the boats on the Canal.
If you want to make it a party, you can rent a boat for a few dozen or hundred of your closest friends.
The dangerous excess weight and labor needed to cut and continuously remove the locks on the bridges made it worth the expense of changing the rails to these.
The new rails have the side benefit of less tourists taking pictures and unobstructed views along the Seine.
For those who can't imagine life without a car, this ad for 2 parking spaces at $140,000 US may make you ask whether the expense is worth it here.
I can buy lots of gelato for that kind of money, and the Amorino shops make sure it's a feast for the eyes as well as the palate:)
