The concrete prow of Place de la Pointe juts into the Canal de l’Ourcq like the bow of a stranded ship. This sliver of land sits where the canal splits, marking the spot where grain barges once turned to reach the old industrial mills. In the nineteen-sixties, the space was a desolate parking lot for delivery trucks. Today, the sharp, angular pavement serves as a public plaza where the water meets the modern city grid, hosting open-air markets and weekend crowds.
