Saint-Vincent de Paul

What to see and do

Saint-Vincent-de-Paul is a neighbourhood in Paris's 10th arrondissement, and its most notable landmark is the Gare du Nord, one of the city's great railway stations. Even if you are not catching a train, the station is worth a look for the scale and bustle of a major European terminus.

Three days in Saint-Vincent de Paul

Day one: Begin in Saint-Vincent de Paul, the neighbourhood that gives the area its name, and take your time getting oriented on foot. From there, head towards Paris via the Gare du Nord, the major rail hub that connects the district to the wider city and beyond. Use the evening to settle in and explore the streets around your base.

Day two: Spend the day exploring the character of the neighbourhood itself, wandering the local streets and getting a feel for daily life in Saint-Vincent de Paul. Return to the Gare du Nord area in the evening, where the transport links make it easy to reach other parts of Paris.

Day three: Make the most of your final day by revisiting the parts of the neighbourhood you enjoyed most, and use the Gare du Nord connections for any last excursions into Paris before you depart. Even a short stay here gives you a useful base for exploring the wider city.
