Here, at the old canal lock between Quai de Valmy and Quai de Jemmapes, the St. Martin Canal is particularly romantic 👍😉

Bassin Louis Blanc

Lake

Formerly the customs on the canal, from 1788, this historic building in classic style now houses a restaurant. It is the transition point between the Bassin de la Villette and the Canal de Saint-Martin, which becomes underground.

Pont de Flandre Lock

Highlight • Other

The lock of the Pont de Flandre is still a first-rate structure since, today, it operates according to the most advanced technological methods. Thanks to a remote management program, the lock keepers can control the other locks on the canal remotely. In particular, they ensure the exchange of information and instructions with users, the visual control of locks and the control of maneuvers. It has its equivalent at the other end of the canal with the Briche lock, in Saint-Denis.

May 2, 2023,🇨🇵 Gare de l'Est - la Villette - à bientôt Paris !

Today only chilled rolling was announced, the legs didn't really want to anymore.
We left our apartment, drove to the Gare de l'Est, locked our luggage and strolled along the Canal Saint Martin...
