Note:
The Canal Saint-Martin is a 4.6 km (2.86 mi) long canal in Paris, connecting the Canal de l'Ourcq to the river Seine. Over nearly half its length (2,069 meters (2,263 yds), between the Rue du Faubourg du Temple and the Place de la Bastille, it was covered, in the mid-19th Century, to create wide boulevards and public spaces on the surface. The city of Paris Sanitation drained and cleaned the Canal every 10–15 years. It is always a source of fascination for Parisians to discover curiosities and even some treasures among the hundreds of tons of discarded objects.
Gaspard de Chabrol, the prefect of Paris, proposed building a canal from the river Ourcq, 100 km northeast of Paris, to supply the city with fresh water to support a growing population and help avoid diseases such as dysentery and cholera. The canal also serves as a water source for fountains and street maintenance. Napoleon Ist ordered the Canal construction in 1802. This construction took place until 1825, funded by a new tax on wine.
This Parisian waterway was used to supply Paris with grain, building materials, and other goods, carried on canal boats. Two ports were created on the Canal in Paris for boat loading: Port de l'Arsenal and the Bassin de la Villette.
By the 1960s, traffic had dwindled to a trickle, and the Canal narrowly escaped being filled in and paved over for a highway.
Today, the Canal is a popular destination for Parisians and tourists. Some take cruises on the Canal in passenger boats. Others watch the barges and other motorboats navigate the sets of locks and passes under the attractive cast-iron footbridges. Many popular restaurants and bars have opened along the outdoor part of the Canal, which is also popular with students.

Note:
The Place des Vosges, originally the Place Royale, is the oldest planned square in Paris, France. It is located in the Marais district and straddles the dividing line between The 3rd and 4th arrondissements in Paris. It was a fashionable and expensive square to live in during the 17th and 18th Centuries and one of the main reasons for the chic nature of Le Marais among the Parisian nobility.
Originally known as the Place Royale, the Place des Vosges was built by Henri IV from 1605 to 1612. It is an authentic square (140 m × 140 m) and embodied one of the first European programs of royal city planning (Plaza Mayor in Madrid, begun in 1590, precedes it). It was built on the site of the Hôtel des Tournelles and its gardens: at a tournament at the Tournelles, a royal residence, Henri II was wounded and died. Catherine de Medici had the Gothic complex demolished, and she moved to the Louvre Palace.
The Place Royale, inaugurated in 1612 with a grand carousel to celebrate the engagement of Louis XIII and Anne of Austria...
