The Canal latéral à l'Oise (French pronunciation: [kanal lateʁal a lwaz]) is a canal in northern France that, along with the river Oise, connects the Canal de Saint-Quentin at Chauny to the Seine at Conflans-Sainte-Honorine.[1] See under the river Oise for the continuation of the route; the junction is made downstream of the lock at Janville 49°27′27″N 2°51′34″E / 49.45750°N 2.85933°E / 49.45750; 2.85933. When a canal is latéral (literally 'running beside'), it follows the course of the river it is named after but in a separate excavated channel. The route described below is the 34 km of canal parallel to the river Oise and 103.5 km of the canalised river Oise.
