The canal runs from the Seine’s Bassin de l’Arsenal to below La Bastille. The latter is the location of a prison that was destroyed during the French Revolution. It then emerges near the Place de la République before ascending to the Bassin de la Villette in the north. It meets the Canal de l’Ourq there.
