Canal St Martin

Almost every time we have been to Paris we have discussed visiting the Canal St Martin. It is a canal that goes underground for part of its route, and has had some nice development around it over the past many years.

This year, we decided to take the walk. 

So we started at the Plaza of the Republic, where we were greeted with a huge sow in a crate:

We don't like birthing crates any more than anyone else, so we were very sympathetic.

But we did stop to look at the monument to the revolution:

Then we walked over to the canal.

It was a very nice walk, and a very nice view: 
There were many locks - but we didn't see any barges of boats going through them.

Plenty of romantic bridges, too:

It was a very nice walk 

Here is the route:
