Lonely Planet review for Canal St-Martin

The tranquil, 4.5km-long St-Martin Canal links the 10e with Parc de la Villette in the 19e via the Bassin de la Villette and Canal de l’Ourcq, and the canal makes its famous dogleg turn in this arrondissement. Its shaded towpaths are a great place for a romantic stroll or cycle and take you past nine locks, metal bridges and ordinary Parisian neighbourhoods. Parts of the water-way – built to link the Seine with the 108km-long Canal de l’Ourcq – are higher than the surrounding land. You can take a tour on a canal boat.
