A Success
The Saint Martin canal had proved a success, so it wasn’t long before another two were made like it. It took two decades for the Canal de l’Ourcq and the Canal Saint-Denis to be built.
The 108 kilometers long and 3.4 meters wide Canal de l’Ourcq was joined to the Canal Saint-Martin. It twisted and turned from Bassin de la Villette to Port-Aux-Perches, and the centuries-old architecture was a marvel to see.
