Who hasn't seen Amelie? If you have seen it you probably have romanticised visions of Montmartre and recall the big iron bridges that cross the Canal Saint-Martin. The Canal-Saint-Martin is a superb location, now popular amongst students who like to come here to drink and picnic along the canal in the summer months, it's still not a spot that is often packed with tourists so it is worth exploring the neighbourhood if you're looking for another side of Paris. The location makes it perfect for students and fans of nightlife, and of course those who love strolling.
