A Surreal Moment
It must have felt like a huge occasion. After all, you do not always get to see the Canal Saint-Martin without any water whatsoever. People could not believe that this was actually happening. It felt surreal to see the bottom of the canal. They all wanted to see what was lying on the floor of the canal.

At first, the workers had to drain the canal until they left only 50 cm of water. They waded the canal to recover the items and the living “things” that resided there. The working personnel fished out around five tons of carp, trout, and bream! They then took the fish to more suitable breeding grounds. They carefully weighed and identified the fish before the relocation. While the new location would not be the most comfortable spot for them, it was still better than the alternative.
