Canal Saint Martin Stories

The Canal Saint-Martin isn't just a backdrop for my food tours... it's my neighborhood, my inspiration, and the heart of my storytelling. Between tastings and heartfelt encounters along the way, I guide visitors through the urban history of this vibrant part of Paris. But beyond these gourmet walks, I also document the soul of the canal through my personal blog.

As a longtime resident and urban planner, my blog explores the canal's layered history, the architectural rhythms that define its charm, and the social pulse that makes it one of the city's most magnetic places. I write about the spaces where past meets present — old warehouses turned into cultural hubs and century-old buildings that frame today’s creative energy.

Through a lens shaped by both culinary curiosity and urban awareness, I share not only the tastiest corners of the canal but also what makes it tick as a living neighborhood. Whether I'm highlighting a café, reviewing an ephemeral art installation, or unpacking the transformation of its public spaces, my blog is a personal map of experiences — one that invites readers to see the canal not just as a destination, but as a living canvas of Parisian culture.

" This was such a great experience - a hidden gem in a really special and unique part of Paris. Nita was a great host, really knowledgeable about the history of the canal and very open in sharing her wider recommendations about Paris with the group. And the food and drink was exceptional ! I was really impressed with the quality of the places we visited to sample wine and fresh, organic delicacies. Would absolutely recommend this tour! "
