The canal stretches from the Seine’s Bassin de l’Arsenal to just below La Bastille. The latter is the site of a jail that was demolished during the French Revolution. It then emerges at the Place de la République before climbing to the Bassin de la Villette in the north. It meets the Canal de l’Ourcq there.
