Paris Port de Mer scheme revived for floodproof seaport
The New York Times reports renewed interest in converting Paris into a seaport by deepening the Seine to Rouen and building canals to bypass rail bottlenecks. Proponents argue up to 50 ships daily could reach Paris, delivering thousands of tons of provisions, while noting summer water shortages as a potential obstacle. Rouen currently handles ships over 3,000 tons, with Bouquets de la Grye’s plans long debated and now echoed by Le Matin.
