The Maison des Projets – Maison du Canal (House of Projects – Canal House) is the result of active collaboration among partners involved in the Seine-Nord Europe Canal project. This provided an opportunity for all representatives of the partner organizations to reiterate the importance of this location, its objectives, and the Grand Chantier (Major Project) initiative, which supports the implementation of the Seine-Nord Europe Canal and aims to develop the local economy and employment.
