Canal de la Baignerie, Historical canal in Vieux-Lille, France.
The Canal de la Baignerie stretches between Rue des Bouchers and Rue de la Baignerie, behind Place de l'Arsenal in central Lille.
Built in the early 15th century after the annexation of Sainte-Catherine parish, this canal connected water sources to the city's defensive moat from 1280.
The canal network represented medieval engineering knowledge, demonstrating how inhabitants managed water resources for daily activities and trade.
Visitors can access the canal area through Rihour metro station and explore the surrounding 18th-century buildings on Rue de la Baignerie.
After being filled in 1912, traces of the canal remain visible, protected as a historical monument since 1993.
