At the other end of Arsenal is a tunnel. It is the beginning of the Canal St. Martin. It passes under Place de la Bastille and continues under Paris streets for more than two kilometres. Who knew barging underground could be so beautiful?
Throughout the tunnel, skylights let the sun shine down.
Above the tunnel, some of the skylights are located in parks.
The tunnel ends with a pair of locks.
With Parisiens and Parisiennes watching our passage from above.
After the tunnel, the Canal St. Martin remains outdoors – a chance for us to watch life in Paris – and to be watched at the same time.
It is a beautiful way to travel through Paris.
