During the in-between hours, in the Canal Saint-Martin in the city's east, Parisiens dangle precariously and eat and drink along the water's edge.
It's something like a backyard party - gather up your French delicacies and find a spot to while away the twilight hours.
Stop in at nearby Pink Flamingo for pizzas hand-delivered, they'll find you by the pink balloon they hand you upon ordering.
Or go to Helmut Newcake for gluten-free pastries, Jules et Shim for modern Korean, Cafe Craft for tea and coffee, Le Cambodge for cambodian or the colossal Marché Bastille markets on Thursdays and Sundays for anything your heart desires.
