Port-sur-Saône

A charming “green town” with character, Port-sur-Saône enjoys a picturesque location along the Saône River and its lateral canal. Here, the blue of the water blends beautifully with the green of the surrounding forests and countryside. Before boarding your boat, take time to stroll through the town and admire its typical Comtois bell tower. Also worth a visit: the Maladière wildlife park, located along the river, home to fallow deer and llamas. A nearby pony club also welcomes young children for an introduction to horse riding.

Cruise through this atmospheric 681-meter tunnel carved into the rock,a unique river experience.

Ray-sur-Saône

From your boat, take in postcard views of Ray-sur-Saône, with its fortified medieval castle and typical Comtois church nestled in greenery.

Savoyeux

The main attraction in Savoyeux is best experienced from the deck of your boat: a 10-minute cruise through the 643-meter-long canal tunnel, carved into the rock.

Gray

As the Saône widens, Gray unfolds with its stone quays and rich port legacy. Don't miss the Renaissance Town Hall, 15th‑c Basilica, Italian-style theater, Baron Martin Museum in the château, and the Museum of Art & Archeology.
