From 1821 to 1831, the works of a daring dream began: connecting the Meuse to the Moselle. The project was gigantic: 200 locks had to be built via the Ourthe and the Sure to close a height difference of 684 metres. 300 kilometres of embankments had to be canalised, underground passages had to be dug in the rocks to pass under the Ardennes massif! In 1830, the Revolution and Belgian independence put an end to the grand project.
