The canal at the beginning of the 20th century.
The Canal de l'Ourcq is a 108.1 km (67.2 mi) long canal of in the Île-de-France region (greater Paris) with 10 locks.[1] It was built at a width of 3.20 m (10.5 ft) but was enlarged to 3.7 m (12 ft), which permitted use by more pleasure boats.[1] The canal begins at Port-aux-Perches near the village of Troesnes, where it splits from the channeled River Ourcq, and flows to the Bassin de la Villette, where it joins the Canal Saint-Martin. Paris requires 380 000 m3 (497,000 yd3) of water daily for cleaning the sewer system, gutters, and parks.[1] The Canal de l'Ourcq provides about half of the requirement. Since 1983, the waterway has been designated for use by pleasure craft, and its water is designated for non-drinking uses.[2]
The canal is considered part of the 130 km (81 mi) Parisian canal network, along with the Canal Saint-Denis, the bassin de la Villette, and the Canal Saint-Martin. The canals were created as part of the administrative management of water in Paris during the nineteenth century.

Voies navigables du bassin de la Seine. L'Ourcq et le canal de l'Ourcq se trouvent au nord-est de Paris.
Le long du parc forestier de Sevran, une tranchée a dû être creusée pour faire passer le canal.
Le canal de l’Ourcq est un canal du Bassin parisien.
Avant de commencer à Mareuil-sur-Ourcq pour rejoindre le bassin de la Villette à Paris, la rivière l'Ourcq est canalisée et navigable depuis le « Port aux Perches » sur la commune de Silly-la-Poterie.
Avec le canal Saint-Denis, le bassin de la Villette et le canal Saint-Martin, il constitue le réseau des canaux parisiens, long de 130 km et qui appartient à la ville de Paris. Sa construction débute en 1802 et s'achève en 1825. Il fait l'objet par la suite de plusieurs remaniements notamment l'ajout de cinq écluses, d'une usine alimentant le canal en eau à Trilbardou et l'élargissement du gabarit sur les onze premiers kilomètres.
À l'origine, le canal a pour premier objectif d'alimenter Paris en eau potable ; aujourd'hui, son utilisation est réservée à la voirie. Jusque dans les années 1960, il est parcouru sur toute sa longueur par les flûtes d'Ourcq, péniches adaptées au petit gabarit de la plus grande partie du canal. Depuis 1962, seuls les onze premiers kilomètres, entre le bassin de la Villette et Aulnay-sous-Bois, exempts d'écluses, sont ouverts au trafic commercial : environ un million de tonnes sont transportées chaque année par des péniches dont le port en lourd ne peut excéder 400 tonnes. Au-delà, le canal, dont la profondeur est désormais de 80 cm, est dédié à la plaisance. Le canal de l'Ourcq est également utilisé depuis sa création pour alimenter en eau les canaux Saint-Martin et Saint-Denis. Depuis la fin des années 1990, les abords du canal situés dans l'agglomération parisienne sont réhabilités et aménagés pour en faire un axe vert ouvert aux activités de loisir tels que le cyclotourisme et la randonnée pédestre.

Places to see in ( Val Thorens - France )
Places to see in ( Val Thorens - France )
Val Thorens, located in the Tarentaise Valley, Savoie, French Alps, is the highest ski resort in Europe, at an altitude of 2300 m. It is located in the commune of Saint-Martin-de-Belleville in the Savoie département. The resort forms part of the 3 vallées linked ski area which, with over 600 km of piste, is one of the largest linked ski areas in the world.
In the 1960s the potential of Val Thorens to be transformed from summer pasture into a location for a purpose built ski area was noted. Prior to this the development of Les Menuires at 1850m was begun in 1967. In 1969 the access road was extended up to Val Thorens so that development of the resort could start. In 1971 the first of 3 drag lifts was installed, followed in 1972 by the opening of the first ski school. Like many 1960s purpose built resorts in the French Alps, Val Thorens suffered from a lack of architectural guidelines in the early days, leading to an over-dependence on concrete. New and renovated developments now have to meet much stricter design guidelines and the use of traditional materials is sought.
The nearest airports are Chambéry, Lyon and Geneva. They have a transfer time of 2 hours, 2 hours 45 mins and 3 hrs 15 mins respectively. Alternatively the resort is nearly 1 hour from Moutiers for the snow train. Given the high altitude of Val Thorens and the Glacier de Péclet the often large volume of snow means that the resort is usually open from mid-November until early May. The highest ski-able peaks are Pointe du Bouchet (3220 m) and Cime de Caron (3200 m), with its cable car of the same name, one of the biggest in the world with a capacity of 150+1 passengers.
Many of the slopes in Val Thorens face north and north-west, providing for good snow conditions. This means that the slopes are not as sunny, so the resort tends to attract a crowd more interested in skiing than terracing. However, the resort itself faces south, and many people enjoy sitting outside in the sunshine when they have finished skiing. Val Thorens has a total of 68 marked runs, and several terrain parks. The main snow park sees top level freestyle competitions every winter as it hosts a stage of the national SFR Slopestyle Tour, and the ski cross arena is frequently visited by the FIS Skier X World Cup. Jean-Fred Chapuis, who won the Skier X event at the 2014 Olympics in Sochi, hails from Val Thorens and the ski cross track is named after him.
Val Thorens is the most visited international ski resort in France: more than 70% of its visitors are foreigners. While one will find people from all over the world in Val Thorens, British, Scandinavian, Belgian, Dutch and German tourists make up the majority. Val Thorens is part of the 3 vallées ski domain, which is connected by a common ski pass. Jean Beranger set up the first ski school in Val Thorens: The ESF, and the Club des sport and the Tourism Office in 1972. Beranger is a former coach of the French women's ski team.
Beginning in 1973 Val Thorens operated ski lifts all year round on the Peclet glacier. At time of opening the glacier included 3 surface lifts named Croissant, Chavière and Pointe and a chairlift named 3300. The summer ski area was then expanded in 1983 with the construction of an extra surface lift named Lac Blanc and an extra chairlift named Glacier. However, the glacier only contained difficult and very difficult slopes, hence naturally limiting visitor numbers.
Val Thorens has 31 lifts, which include magic carpets, draglifts, chairlifts, gondolas, funitels and a cable car. There are 4 funitels; the Bouquetin, Péclet, Grand Fond and Thorens. The funitel concept was developed in Val Thorens, by the lift company, SETAM. It is a gondola that hangs from twin cables, and its key feature is its wind resistance. Within the Tarentaise Valley you find the biggest concentration of ski resorts in the world. The most well-known neighbour systems are Paradiski (Les Arcs, La Plagne) and Espace Killy (Val d'Isère and Tignes). A weekly lift ticket in Val Thorens/Les Trois Vallées provides the choice to ski one day in each of the other two systems mentioned. There were once plans to interlink all systems and resorts to create the largest ski area in the world. However that vision was ended with the creation of the Vanoise National Park.
( Val Thorens - France ) is well know as a tourist destination because of the variety of places you can enjoy while you are visiting Val Thorens . Through a series of videos we will try to show you recommended places to visit in Val Thorens - France

Porto Rico : La côte nord-est
1er janvier 2008
La richesse de Puerto Rico, baptisée ainsi en 1493 par Christophe Colomb en raison des galions remplis d'or qu'elle a fournis à l'Espagne, tient notamment à la grande diversité de ses paysages. A l'est de la chaîne montagneuse qui traverse l'île se déploie la forêt tropicale humide, où vit une faune unique et pousse une flore luxuriante. D'Aguadilla aux abords de San Juan s'étire une ceinture de karst formant une série de murailles et de cônes rocheux. Le littoral, jalonné de larges lagunes au nord, est bordé de marais où poussent les palétuviers, ces arbres de la mangrove qui s'enracinent dans la vase. Images d'archive INA
