His emotional link with Lorraine is undeniable and therefore we will consider him as a Lorraine cousin. In the "Lorraine country" we find his name in 1934 in the excellent article "The artistic movement in Nancy" by Emile Nicolas, in 1936 or in an issue of 1959 on the occasion of the Salon of "L'Union des artistes from the east". » The Saint-Martin canal is a 4.55 km long canal located mainly in the 10th and 11th arrondissements of Paris. It connects the Villette basin — and beyond the Ourcq canal — to the Arsenal port (the Paris marina) which communicates with the Seine. It is a small canal originally intended for the supply of drinking water to the capital. Inaugurated in 1825, it has nine locks and two swing bridges for a total drop of 25 m. With the Ourcq canal, the Villette basin and the Saint-Denis canal, it constitutes the network of Parisian canals, 130 km long, which belongs to the City of Paris. The Saint-Martin canal has been a listed historic monument since February 23, 19931.
