Construction of the canal began as early as the 17th century, but it was not fully operational until 1758. In the 1980s, the canal was widened over 2/3 of its length.
The canal connects the Pas de Calais in Calais via Coulogne, Les Attaques, Nortkerque, Audruicq and Ruminghem with the Aa, near the hamlet of Pont-du-West. At the hamlet of Le Pont d'Ardres there is a branch to Ardres.
The canal is 30 km long and has 3 locks.
