🎧 Listen to Introduction
The four hydraulic boat lifts on this short stretch of the historic Canal du Centre are industrial monuments of the highest quality. Together with the canal itself and its associated buildings, they form a typical example of a well-preserved late 19th-century industrial landscape. Of the eight hydraulic boat lifts built in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the four on the Canal du Centre are the only ones in the world still in original working condition.
