        The Canal des Ardennes, also known as the Ardennes Canal, is a canal in northeastern France that connects the Meuse basin with that of the Seine.
        The canal is approximately 88 kilometers long.
        It runs entirely through the Ardennes department, between the Meuse at Pont-à-Bar and the Aisne at Vieux-lès-Asfeld.
        The Canal des Ardennes was built between 1823 and 1831 to create a shorter shipping route between Belgium and the Paris region.
        The canal has a total of 44 locks.
        There is a tunnel at Saint-Aignan, known as the Tunnel of Saint-Aignan.
        The canal has a branch to Vouziers at Semuy.
        The canal was built to bridge the height differences in this hilly area as easily as possible and was therefore constructed along existing rivers as much as possible. It reaches a height of 165 meters above sea level and then descends to a height of 60.55 meters at the terminus. It is an important part of the water infrastructure in this region.
