The ''Canal du Faux-Rempart'', also known as the ''Fossé du Faux-Rempart'', is a canal in the centre of the city of Strasbourg in eastern France. The canal connects at both ends to the River Ill, thus surrounding the Grande Île that lies at the historic centre of the city. The canal was originally an arm of the River Ill. Initially the bank on the inner, or city, side of the arm was fortified. In the thirteenth century a further wall was built along the middle of the channel. This fortified wall became known as the ''Faux Rempart'' or false rampart. Between 1831 and 1832, the mayor Frédéric de Turckheim removed the ''Faux Rempart'' in order to "allow a spacious navigation channel and freight transport within the city." In 1840, the canal was opened to navigation. In its length, the canal is crossed by 13 bridges, and passes through a single lock. Navigation is officially restricted to passenger trip boats only, which operate frequent circular cruises round the Grande Île and through the historic Petite France district of the city.〔〔 ==Gallery== File:Strasbourg, Faux remparts, 1650.png|Drawing of the ''Faux Rempart'' in 1650 File:Thomas Bresson - pont de l'abattoir.jpg|The upstream end of the canal, with the single lock File:Strasbourg PontMarché 01.JPG|The ''Pont du Marché'' File:Strasbourg PontThéâtre 02.JPG|Trip boat at the ''Pont du Théâtre'' File:Lycée international des Pontonniers et immeuble ESCA.jpg|The ''Pont Saint-Étienne'' at the downstream end 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Canal du Faux-Rempart」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
