Canal de l'Aisne à la Marne, Summit level canal in northeastern France
The Canal de l'Aisne à la Marne extends 58 kilometers from Berry-au-Bac to Condé-sur-Marne, incorporating 24 locks and a 2302-meter tunnel at Mont-de-Billy.
The canal construction began in 1841 and opened in 1866 as part of a planned orbital waterway system connecting the Loire through northern France.
The waterway represents a testament to French engineering, demonstrating the technical capabilities of 19th-century canal construction with its precise lock system.
The canal currently handles approximately 10 commercial barges daily, primarily transporting grain, while also accommodating recreational vessels throughout its course.
The canal rises 40 meters to reach a summit level of 95.70 meters before descending 23.80 meters through eight locks toward the Marne River.
