Close to its merging with the Rhône river, the canal Rhin-Rhône is using the wide bed of the Saône, except where the barrages were installed to raise the water level because of obstacles or stream flow, making locks necessary. Just passed it when its extension project was completed in 2016: allonger l’écluse de Rochetaillée à 195 mètres afin de l’harmoniser avec celle des autres écluses de l’axe Rhône-Saône. leprogres.fr/amp/rhone-69-edition-val-de-saone/2019/08/24/l-ecluse-de-rochetaillee-un-lieu-ideal-pour-observer-les-bateaux
