Set on the northeast fringe of Paris, Aubervilliers will charm you with historic architecture, a picturesque canal, and lively arts and cultural scenes. The commune is less than 10 kilometers (six miles) from central Paris, though it feels worlds away from the buzz of the French capital. You'll love peering into magnificent buildings like Notre-Dame-des-Vertus, soaking up the lively street scene in the Old Town, and strolling along the banks of Canal Saint-Denis, stopping for coffee and croissants along the way.
