[Plan this experience]() [Explore the story]() Cost **Per person** Time to allow **Allow 30–90 minutes** Place **Canal Saint-Martin / 10th arrondissement, Paris** 01 / The experience ### A blue-fronted corner café with a traditional bar. La Fontaine de Belleville is recognisable from its blue awning and corner terrace. The pavement tables face the everyday movement of the streets near Canal Saint-Martin, while the interior brings the older language of a Paris café: polished wood, tall mirrors, bottles behind the bar and round red stools. #### The mirrored bar and neighbourhood terrace That setting makes the café more versatile than a small takeaway espresso counter. A morning coffee can develop into a longer sit-down pause, and the café-bar character carries the place beyond a single breakfast service. The counter is an especially distinctive part of the room, reflecting the bottles and people around it in the decorative mirrors. #### Coffee and a light bite by Canal Saint-Martin The food and drink offer belongs to that neighbourhood café format, with coffee and a light bite providing the simplest introduction. It is a place to use for the room and terrace as well as the cup, rather than a restaurant whose identity rests on a long tasting menu. The surrounding district supplies the activity; the café gives a seat within it. Its name places it in a broader Paris coffee conversation, but the useful attraction is quite concrete. The blue exterior, pavement seating and traditional mirrored bar create three connected settings for the same stop. The terrace is the more open, street-facing choice; indoors, the wood and mirrors give the visit its particular character. ![La Fontaine de Belleville, Paris]() Cafés & bakeries **La Fontaine de Belleville** Paris In pictures ### The full gallery. 02 / The essentials ### La Fontaine de Belleville: visit essentials 1. 01 Canal Saint-Martin / 10th arrondissement 2. 02 Allow 30–90 minutes 3. 03 Confirm current café and food-service hours before visiting. 04 / Before you go ### Plan your visit A neighbourhood café-bar with a terrace, morning coffee and a longer stay than a small takeaway coffee counter. #### Menu & spending Check the current menu before visiting.
