Beautiful experience, certainly to recommend. Among the various available tours I chose the morning one that goes from Bassin de la Villette to Bassin de l'Arsenal: 2 and a half hours of peaceful navigation in the basin and then down in the over 4 and a half kilometers of the Canal St Martin, with its 9 locks, 2 revolving bridges and a tunnel of almost 2 kilometers, for a total height difference of about 25 meters. The operations of maneuvering the various sluice gates and the hydraulic systems for filling and emptying the gates are very interesting.
