Paris

Paris leaves plenty of room for an ordinary, lovely afternoon: an exhibition, a walk by the canal and a table where the conversation can continue. Around Canal Saint-Martin, footbridges and waterside cafés set the scene. The Marais and Belleville offer other reasons to get together, from contemporary galleries to streets that are enjoyable simply to wander.

Coffee and a walk by Canal Saint-Martin

Quai de Valmy and Quai de Jemmapes run along opposite sides of the canal. Start near one of the footbridges, follow the water and stop when a café catches your eye. The streets around Rue de Lancry and Rue des Vinaigriers offer detours away from the banks. It is an easy setting for getting to know someone without spending the whole meeting across a table.

A gallery afternoon in the Marais or Belleville

The Marais has a long-established gallery scene; Belleville offers a different mix of contemporary spaces and neighbourhood streets. Spend time with one exhibition rather than hurrying through a list. Afterwards, a café nearby gives you a chance to compare what caught your attention. Belleville’s slopes also bring a change of perspective, although a gallery visit and a hill walk are quite different outings.
