Overview

You’ll fall in love with the tree-lined walkways and wrought iron footbridges of Canal Saint-Martin as you spend a few hours with your host, perusing its banks and exploring the surrounding neighborhoods. Discover what a truly Parisian neighborhood looks like as you join the city’s bohemians, students, philosophers, fashionistas, flaneurs and of course, local residents, on the banks of this famous canal.

Within 24 hours after booking you'll receive a short questionnaire about your personality and interests. Based on your responses, you'll be assigned a like-minded host. Your host will communicate with you directly to suggest an itinerary to help you discover what makes the city unique. You will also agree on a meeting time and place. Your itinerary is flexible, so during the experience, you can always change your mind about what you want to do.
