The Saône is one of the largest rivers in Eastern France. It has its source in the Vosges and flows for almost 500 km into the Rhône, at the level of Lyon. Navigable for more than 3,000 years, the Saône river crosses 3 regions (Grand Est, Bourgogne-Franche-Comté, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes) and 6 departments (Vosges, Haute-Saône, Côte-d’Or, Saône-et-Loire, Rhône, Ain). It waters several large towns and cities such as Chalon-sur-Saône, Mâcon and Lyon, and has around fifty tributaries including the Doubs. It is navigable and it is possible to practise several water sports such as kayaking, canoeing and rowing.
« O ! Saône my river,
Your languorous current,
Your light reflections,
Make my heart happy.
When I’m on your shore,
To follow you wih your eyes,
My being adrift,
Rises a little towards God. »
If René Domeguet was able to feel this kind of emotion from the shore, can you imagine the sensations you will experience when you are on the waves?
