Canal Saint Martin

We stay on the water today. Paris not only has the Seine river but also this very nice Canal name Canal Saint Martin leading from the Seine to the Bassin de la Villette in the north east of the city (4.5 km). It is a nice area to walk especially on sundays when cars are banned from the surrounding streets and the area is left to pedestrians and bikes. On this canal you can find 9 locks like the one we see in the far background.

The canal is freezing

Actually it did not snow long yesterday and roads were ok but the temperatures keep going down and we even have a -18°c in the Paris suburb. The sky is blue though whivh gives nice colors like these on the Canal near Bastille which is starting to freeze. Have a nice week end!

Boats

Paris has its harbour on the canal leading from the Seine river to to Bastille square (you can see the column in the background) with a nice pedestrian iron bridge.
