Canal Saint-Martin
This Canal is on the other side of Paris, so definitely something different than the Seine river. The Canal has been dug by Napoleon, beginning of the 19th century for transport. These days it is one of the nicest and most popular spots of Paris for having a drink in the sunshine. Also by Parisians of this area and beyond.
We will pass by the restaurant Le Petit Cambodge which was shot on Friday evening, November 13, 2015 during the Bataclan attack. We will see a memorial for the victims and tell our personal story.
