Napoleon’s Aquatic Lifeline

At the dawn of the 19th century, Paris grappled with a critical issue: the need for a steady fresh water supply. In response, the visionary Napoleon Bonaparte initiated the construction of the Canal Saint-Martin in 1802. This ambitious endeavor was set to revolutionize the city’s infrastructure, quench its thirst, and invigorate its economy by easing the transport of goods.

Over two decades of careful planning and construction culminated in 1825 with the canal’s completion. It became a lifeline for Paris, enabling the seamless transport of grain and other critical commodities, thereby weaving itself into the fabric of the city’s history and ensuring its growth and prosperity.
