Rotonde de la Villette
Built 1788 by Claude-Nicolas Ledoux as one of 50 toll houses ringing pre-revolutionary Paris. Octagonal classical pavilion, surprisingly grand for what was essentially a customs booth. Now hosts a restaurant and exhibitions; the Bassin de la Villette behind it is the city's largest artificial body of water.
Walk around the rotunda once before entering — the four neoclassical porticoes are different. Behind it, the Bassin de la Villette stretches for 700 m to the Parc de la Villette; the wide quays are pedestrianised and full of pétanque players in the evenings.

The district · 10e
Canal Saint-Martin & Gare du Nord — Canal ParisThe locks and iron footbridges of the Canal Saint-Martin, the South Asian Passage Brady, the Faubourg Saint-Denis food strip, and two big stations. Young, mixed, and where a lot of the good cheap eating is.
Best for: Twenty-somethings and food-first travellers; lively rather than pretty.
