France debates future of the Seine-Nord canal
Original: canal +
The Seine-Nord canal is back in the spotlight. La France insoumise has tabled a 2026 budget amendment calling for a moratorium on the 'mega-canal' linking the Oise to Dunkirk's port network, reigniting debate over its costs and environmental impact. Meanwhile, triathlon's Ironman in Versailles draws crowds along the Seine after a false start three months ago.
Why now: A parliamentary amendment seeking to freeze the flagship mega-canal project has put canals back at the centre of French political debate.
