A very nice neighborhood in Paris with a multitude of activities for everyone
The Canal Saint-Martin (which starts at the Goncourt metro station approximately) offers a nice walk on foot, by scooter or by bike to the Bassin de la Villette. The Bassin de la Villette (800m long and 70m wide), remarkably developed in recent years, attracts Parisians and tourists for its activities on the water (rental of small electric boats or cruising on the Canal Saint-Martin towards the Seine towards the Musée d’Orsay), its cinema (the MK2 Quai de Seine), its bars, its restaurants or its bowling alley. It connects the Canal Saint-Martin and the Canal de l’Ourcq. Past the Saint-Denis canal, you arrive at the urban park of La Villette, a huge complex made up of a superb park (with playgrounds for children and large lawns), the Géode, the Cité des Sciences et de l’Industrie , the Géode and the Zenith.
