Local level recommended in Bellicourt, France

Chain Shipping Channel

The Riqueval Tunnel (5670 meters) is located near the town of Bellicourt. Built on the Canal Saint-Quentin between 1801 and 1810 by order of Napoleon it is, along with the tunnel at Mauvages on the Canal de la Marne au Rhin, the only place where the system of towing barges with a chain still exists.

The length of the underground Riqueval does not allow enough air transfer to evacuate exhaust from combustion engines on transport barges so they are required to be towed.
