Canal St-Martin PhotosFrom: St. Martin Canal Cruises
From the 1900s until World War II, the Canal St-Martin was a major industrial waterway, but barge traffic declined sharply after the war, and city officials considered paving over the canal for an autoroute in the early 1960s. Today, the canal is mostly a recreational waterway, but it still has commercial traffic. The city of Paris has been renovating the canal infrastructure in the last few years, with the goal of shifting freight from trucks to barges in an effort to reduce highway traffic and pollution.
