A Splendid Way To Spend An Evening
Those that have visited or live in Paris will know that the Canal Saint-Martin area is also home to a sensational nightlife scene. But this was a relatively recent development in the area’s history, as it was once quite a silent area. But this bustling party area would turn out to be a double-edged sword for the city, as with the added entertainment business came a lot more pollution for the Canal Saint-Martin. It was during 2016 that the scale of the issue became more apparent.

The Legend’s Legacy
While you might better recognize Napoleon for being one of the most ruthlessly successful military leaders in European history, he also did more for France (and Europe in general) than most of his contemporaries at large. This included the construction of the Canal Saint-Martin, which commenced in 1802. Napoleon wished for Parisians to have access to fresh water and to no longer need to suffer the awful effects of water-borne diseases. He was also certain that the canal would serve Paris for hundreds of years to come.
