:: How to choose your apartment rentals 10th arrondissement Paris, France? ::

The Xe arrondissement is centered around the picturesque Canal St. Martin, which connects the northeast portion of Paris to the Seine. The canal’s banks are home to various restaurants and cafés. With two of Paris’ main stations, it also offers close proximity to the rest of central Paris.
Located on the Right Bank, the 10th is home to two of the six main rail stations in Paris: Gare du Nord and Gare de l'Est. These two great stations offer a launching point to the rest of central Paris and beyond, making the 10th an affordable base for reaching Paris’ main attractions and outlying areas.
Although you will love the convenience of these two stations, many visitors staying in apartment rentals 75010 Paris choose to walk to a more quaint station such as Goncourt for their first outing, as it’s a little less overwhelming for first-timers. As a side benefit, you get to enjoy walking through this unusual and picturesque part of Paris (always a fun and exciting adventure).
The 10th has two distinct personalities: as a quiet, relaxing “faubourg” (the 18th century word for “neighborhood”) and also as a hub of industry.
The district is centered on the charming Canal St. Martin, lined with a wide variety of unusual restaurants and quirky cafes. If you’ve always wanted to dine in the belle époque splendor of Maxim’s but would prefer to keep to your budget, you may wish to try Julien on rue du Faubourg St-Denis. It’s often referred to as “budget Maxim’s” due to its moderate prices.
Another perennial favorite here is Brasserie Flo at cour des Petites-Ecuries, which offers food and drink in a more casual setting.
The Canal St. Martin stretches from the Rue Lafayette to Square Frédérick Lemaître. (As an historical aside, the canal was completed in 1825 after Napoleon mandated the creation of artificial waterway to help supply Paris with water.)
Today, the canal remains very popular among both Parisians and those seeking apartment rentals in Paris, who enjoy watching the barges navigate the series of road bridges and locks. In fact, if you’ve seen the 2001 movie Amélie, you may have seen the canal already, as the character Amelie enjoys skipping stones at the locks of the canal.
Cyclists and power-walkers (or casual strollers) will find yet another reason to love the 10th. Beginning each Saturday afternoon through Sunday night, the streets lining the canal are cordoned off for the enjoyment of cyclists and pedestrians. While living in your Paris vacation apartments rent, you may find yourself on a stroll by yourself or with a loved one, taking in the peace of this relaxing area.
In terms of general character, the 10th is home of a large working class, transitioning to a more upscale personality as it heads southward. The Boulevard Magenta makes for a lovely stroll in the direction of the Canal St Martin.
If one continues walking in a southerly direction, one arrives at the historic Place de la République with its many restaurants, bars and cafés.
