This was opened in 1965, but it unfortunately has a hybrid width, between the "Freycinet" and the "Broad Section". It is nevertheless – while waiting for the opening of the Seine-North Canal – the only broad commercial highway between the English Channel and the Seine. Recreational sailors prefer its twin, the Saint-Quentin Canal.
