The Marne–Rhine Canal ((フランス語:Canal de la Marne au Rhin)) is a canal in north eastern France. It connects the river Marne in Vitry-le-François with the Rhine in Strasbourg. Combined with the canalised part of the Marne, it allows transport between Paris and eastern France. The original objective of the canal was to connect Paris and the north of France with the Alsace, the Rhine, and Germany.〔 ==Description== The long canal was opened in 1853. The canal is suited for small ships (''péniches''), maximum size 38.5 m long and 5.05 m wide. It has 154 locks, including two in the Moselle River. There are four tunnels. The Saint-Louis-Arzviller inclined plane is located between Arzviller and Saint-Louis and its construction replaced some 17 locks.〔 The Marne–Rhine Canal is connected with the following navigable waterways (from west to east): *River Marne in Vitry-le-François *River Meuse/''Canal de l'Est'' in Sorcy near Commercy 〔 *River Moselle/''Canal de l'Est'' in Toul 〔 *River Moselle in Frouard 〔 *''Embranchement de Nancy'' in Laneuveville-devant-Nancy〔 *''Canal des houillères de la Sarre'' in Gondrexange 〔 *River Ill in Strasbourg 〔 *''Canal du Rhone au Rhine'' in Strasbourg 〔 *River Rhine in Strasbourg 〔 Its course crosses the following ''départements'' and towns: *Marne: Vitry-le-François *Meuse: Bar-le-Duc, Ligny-en-Barrois, Void-Vacon *Meurthe-et-Moselle: Toul, Nancy *Moselle: Gondrexange, Sarrebourg *Bas-Rhin: Saverne, Strasbourg The ''Voies Navigables France Itinéraires Fluviaux'' breaks the canal into eastern and western sections. The western sections goes from Vitry-le-François to Toul over via 97 locks. The eastern section goes from Frouard to Strasbourg over via 57 locks. The section between Toul and Frouard is closed and a canalized section of the Moselle River is used. The ''Through the French Canals'' book breaks the canal into eastern and western sections, but with a different separation point. The western sections goes from Vitry-le-François to Réchicourt over via 121 locks. The eastern section goes from Réchicourt to Strasbourg over via 33 locks. 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「Marne–Rhine Canal」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
