Bridge Over the Canal

Highlight • Bridge

The Canal de la Sensée is a canal in northern France. The project was developed under Napoleon. In March 1806, the Imperial government ordered the construction of a canal connecting the Scarpe and the Scheldt. Work began under the direction of Augustin Honnorez in June 1819 and the Canal de la Sensée was opened to navigation in November 1820. Back then, the boats were pulled by men or horses who worked for ship owners. Shortly after World War I 1914-1918, horses were replaced by tractors. The Canal de la Sensée is part of the Dunkirk - Scheldt Canal.

Le Bassin Rond is a former water garage in Bouchain, France. It was constructed to enable the connection between the Canal de l'Escaut and the Sensée1. It is a popular destination for walkers and cyclists, with a 5-kilometre trail along the banks that invites you to go back in time2. There is also a sailing school called Center Départemental De Plein Air Du Bassin Rond CDPA where you can learn to sail and practice other water sports

The place is really pretty. It is equipped to park, and there is something to put down, have a picnic. The edge of the water ("the Bordeaux" :-) are also arranged, in cycle track, and lends itself well to jogging.

First outing after the winter break. A little chilly at the start but blissful afterwards
