Écluse des Récollets

The Récollets lock, one of the nine double locks on the Canal Saint-Martin built in 1825, can be seen along the canal, surrounded by the charming Grange aux Belles and Bichat footbridges. Close to the Square des Récollets and Jardin Villemin, it offers a breathtaking view of the Hôtel du Nord, made famous by Marcel Carné's film of the same name starring Arletty. A romantic walk steeped in history in the heart of Paris.
