Navigation on
the Saone :
The
Saone furrows the slopes of the famous vineyards of the
coast
chalonnaise, Mâconnais and the Beaujolais
wine, walking on idly through the strengthened cities.
True paradise for the fishermen, his weak slope and its
regular flow makes a calm and easy water way of it.

It is an affluent
of the Saone which takes to its source in Baume les Messieurs
(Jura)
and which is thrown in
the Saone with Truchère (Saone et Loire). Long
of a hundred km, it is a quiet river with trout. A few
km before its opening, it form a network of Ponds, dunes
and peat bogs which shelter a great number of species
threatened and rare of migratory birds.
