Savoyeux Tunnel

Highlight • Other

The Savoyeux underground, also called the Savoyeux vault, was completed in 1843. It allows boats to pass from the Petite Saône to the Saône.

The tunnel is 642 meters long and 6.55 meters wide.

There was no towpath in the tunnel, which forced the horses to go around the structure. The boatmen therefore had to move forward by pulling on the chains present along the walls of the underground.

The highlight here is taken from the resting point above the exit. There is also a table here.

Tunnel de Savoyeux

Highlight • Structure

The Tunnel de Savoyeux is an underground canal that diverts the Saône between two of its meanders near Savoyeux, in Haute-Saône, France. It was completed in 1843 and made it possible to sail the small Saône to the Saône. It is 642.5 meters long and 6.55 meters wide. It has no path for pulling the boats, so the skippers had to pull the boats with chains attached to the walls of the tunnel. It also has a lock at the end of the tunnel

Apremont Dam

Highlight • Structure

This dam has a fixed part and a mobile part each measuring about fifty meters long. This structure was completely overhauled in 2014 after six years of work.

Thus, the original dam dating from the 1840s was equipped with a fish pass and a footbridge on which pedestrians and cyclists can circulate to cross the watercourse.

Pontailler-sur-Saône

Highlight • Settlement

The town offers everything you need for a pleasant break: shops, refreshments at the bars, a safe swimming area at the beach, a charming marina, playgrounds for children, and a lovely view of the Saône.

Saint-Jean-de-Losne

Highlight • Settlement

Saint-Jean-de-Losne lies at the junction of three major waterways: the Saône River, which flows towards the Rhône and the Mediterranean Sea; the Burgundy Canal, which flows towards the Seine and the Paris Basin; and the Rhine-Rhône Canal, which flows towards the Rhine and Northern and Eastern Europe.

Saint-Jean-de-Losne is one of the smallest municipalities in France: a total of 0.60 km², of which 0.36 km² is land and the rest water.

Diversion into the Saône river

Highlight • River

At lock number 20, the diversion of the Saône River, which connects to Auxonne, ends. The Auxonne Canal and its locks were built between 1839 and 1845.

The Auxonne Canal has a water level that guarantees a depth of 1.60 meters, including the shallows. The locks at each end connect it to the river.

Bridge with View of the Château de Pesmes

Highlight • Bridge

It's definitely worth climbing the stairs behind the bridge to the old part of Pesmes. Once you reach the top you will be rewarded with a wonderful view
