Register for Bonjour Paris Live: Rue Des Vinaigriers and the Atmosphere of Canal Saint-martin

Sunday May 18th, at 12:00 EST Join Paris writer Jeffrey T Iverson for a virtual tour of an atmospheric neighbourhood that’s been revived by a new generation of artisans in food, fashion and craftsmanship. The Canal Saint-Martin has long fascinated Paris lovers as one of the city’s most colourful working-class neighbourhoods, its bridges and cafés made famous by films like Hôtel du Nord (1938) and Amélie (2001). Yet since the early 2000s, the Canal has gone from gritty to gentrified, as factories have closed and entrepreneurs moved in to open wine bars, restaurants, and trendy boutiques. That evolution has played out in some delicious ways, notably in the tangle of streets just off the canal’s western bank centred around the Rue des Vinaigriers. CLICK HERE TO REGISTER
