Set within the less touristy Goutte d'Or district, this home's interiors are a reflection of the cosmopolitan nature of its surroundings. A home with a cool ethnic vibe and some interesting artwork, we found its cosy living space to be very conducive to relaxing with a good book and a cup of tea given the lack of modern distractions – you certainly won't find a TV here! It's and ideal option for a couple looking for a tranquil refuge within a more authentic locale, while its proximity to a couple of stations also makes it a viable base from which to explore other parts.

About Canal Saint Martin - Oberkampf

Canal Saint Martin is to Paris what Williamsburg once was to New York or Shoreditch was to London. This part of town still retains a certain grittiness that has been largely lost from the abovementioned counterparts - gentrification is undoubtedly on its way but the area still feels authentic and edgy so get there before this changes! You'll be rubbing shoulders with Paris's hippest young things, smoking and drinking outside...
