10th Arrondissement Tours and Tickets

Some unmissable attractions in Paris’ 10th Arrondissement include the Canal St. Martin neighborhood, the Gourmet Chocolate Museum, and the Saint Quentin Market. Rather than major big-name attractions, the area is best known for its offbeat restaurants and bars, as well as two major train stations: Gare du Nord and Gare de l’Est.

Yes, the 10th Arrondissement is generally safe for tourists in the daytime, but extra caution may be required at night. In particular, the areas around the two major railway stations—Gare du Nord and Gare de l’Est—are potentially risky after dark. Whenever you visit, take regular big-city precautions to stay safe, such as keeping your belongings secure and avoiding dark, isolated spots.

Yes, you can use the Paris Museum Pass in the 10th Arrondissement, at Choco Story at the Gourmet Chocolate Museum.

The 10th Arrondissement is known for its international cuisine, and you’ll find many options here, including Middle Eastern (specifically Lebanese and Mediterranean), Turkish, Japanese, Chinese, North African, Mexican, Indian, American, and other European fare. The Canal St. Martin and Gare du Nord areas are among the best places to eat in the 10th Arrondissement.
