Crowds Gathering
It’s no surprise that the locals would be curious about the draining and cleaning process – who wouldn’t be? As workers went on with their process, onlookers gathered around the canal, watching the whole thing slowly happen. Maybe Parisians wanted to see if they would find a long-lost item in the mix? Perhaps they were simply looking for a relaxing form of entertainment that included spending time outdoors? We know we would love to watch such a thing.
Vintage Items
Despite the fact that this process is done rather often, considering how old the canal is, vintage items can still be found during the cleaning, such as this camera. It’s baffling to think about how these items ended up at the bottom of the canal in the first place, especially since they’re older than the time the canal was last cleaned. For all we know, people drop things in the canal often – intentionally or not. Somehow, there are always items found that date further back than people expected.
