CIAO·PARIS
One of 13 Paris types
The Canal Goblin
One canal, one bank, no reason to cross the Seine.
Your Paris has a waterline. You sit on the stones with a bottle from the supermarket, play pétanque badly, and end at the kebab place that never closes.
What they actually do
- Buys the wine at the supermarket, not the cave
- Plays pétanque without keeping score
- Ends the night at a kebab counter
The contradiction
You call the Left Bank a rumour and mean about sixty percent of it.
A typical route
- Canal sit-down with supermarket wine
- pétanque
- kebab, obviously
Where they go
Three places from the carnet, picked by this type's two leanings: Explorer counts double, Foodie once.
- 14e · Landmark · Over 15 €Catacombes de ParisGo down the 131 steps and follow the tunnels to the ossuary, where the bones of some six million Parisians are stacked into walls.
- 9e · Covered passage · FreePassage JouffroyCome out of the Passage des Panoramas, cross boulevard Montmartre and keep going: Jouffroy, then Verdeau. Three passages in a row.
- 15e · Walk · FreeAllée des CygnesWalk the narrow island from the pont de Bir-Hakeim to the pont de Grenelle, where a small Statue of Liberty faces downstream.
Who they get on with
