Around Bassin de la Villette

1. Place de Stalingrad

   Start near the rotunda and look north along the basin. Choose the bank that suits the sunlight and crowd levels.

2. Basin quays

   Follow a quay without trying to cover everything. Terraces and bridges allow a change of bank and views of boats and neighbourhood activity.

3. Rue de Crimée lifting bridge

   Pause near the bridge to observe the transition from basin to Canal de l’Ourcq. Stay on pedestrian routes during manoeuvres.

4. Parc de la Villette

   Continue towards the lawns and choose a visit from the day’s programme. Check venue hours before planning entry.
