Rest Area With Bike Charging Station and Water Pump at Abergement-la-Ronce

Highlight • Rest Area

Nice rest area and playground on the Rhine-Rhône Canal in Abergement la Ronce.
From here the EV6 does not run along the canal due to industry reasons.

Port of Saint-Jean-de-Losne

Highlight • Rest Area

Saint-Jean-de-Losne, located on the banks of the Saône in Burgundy, is a charming river village renowned for its port and historical heritage. The largest river port in France, it attracts boaters and visitors curious to discover life on the waterfront. The quays, lined with traditional houses and barges, offer a peaceful atmosphere, ideal for a stroll. The historic center, with its narrow streets and monuments, bears witness to its rich past.

Quai de la Hutte, Losne

Highlight • Other

At this wide part of the navigable river the canal boats can dock on the south side, with beautiful views to the town of St Jean and the entrance to its harbor. A few hundred meters further the tow path has an unpaved section, so the official EV6 bike trail here turns south to follow the road to Chagney for 2 km, where it reunites again with the towpath.

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.

Canal du Rhône au Rhin Entrance and Lock

Highlight • Bridge

This spot marks the canal's mouth at the Saône River. The Rhine-Rhône Canal had a turbulent history, with construction interrupted by the French Revolution and finally extending from 1784 to 1832.

The lock at the canal's mouth has been renovated. In 2009, a lock keeper's cabin was installed, perched six meters high, to control the arrival of boats.
