This canal was not the only canal to be constructed during that time. It was a time when Paris was growing as a city and so its premises were accordingly modified so as to make it as contemporary as possible. So in the time span of the next two decades, three canals were actually built across the city. These canal were extremely lengthy wherein the total length of the three canals amounted up to more than 80 miles. The Canal Saint-Martin was in fact the most popular out of the rest. This famous canal actually connects the 68-mile Canal de l’Ourcq with the flow of the River Seine. It was the vision of Napoleon and yes, the canal did bring a lot of positive effects to this town.
