The French drained one of the Parisian canals and found whole treasures at the bottom

The Paris authorities decided to drain and clean the city's canal Saint-Martin for the first time in 15 years. During the work, incredible finds were discovered — old radios, shopping carts, a bunch of bicycles, scooters and even motorcycles were lying at the bottom of the canal.

The Canal Saint Martin is located in the heart of the French capital in the 10th municipal district of the city on one of the most prestigious streets of Paris.

In recent years, it has been a tourist attraction and a place for walking. Locals believe that it is thanks to its popularity that the channel has turned into a kind of dump.

It took three months to drain the canal.

A scooter was found among the unusual finds.

The canal was last drained and cleaned in 2001.

Workers catch fish stuck at the bottom, so that they can then move it to a cleaner place.

The rescued fish is placed in a container and transported to a new location.

4.5 tons of trout, carp and bream were caught in three days.
