The Canal latéral à l'Aisne is a canal in northern France, which connects Vieux-lès-Asfeld to Condé-sur-Aisne. It runs alongside the Aisne River. Connections are also made with Canal de l'Oise à l'Aisne in Bourg-et-Comin and Canal de l'Aisne à la Marne at Berry-au-Bac.[1]

Notes
A The exact starting coordinates are hard to compute when two canals merge like this. This point is midpoint between the two cities Vieux-lès-Asfeld and Asfeld as shown on this reference.[2] But, I fear it is south of Vieux-lès-Asfeld??
