The easiest way to get here is to get off at the République station of the M3, M5, M8, M9 or M11 lines of the Paris metro, and when you go up, walk through the back street of the statue in République Square, reach where the Saint Martin Canal begins, turn left and walk on the road on the right side of the canal. Le Comptoir Général After about 150-200 meters you will see a green iron door on the right. Door…
