A Glimpse of the Petite Saône, Doubs, and Vosges Canal
If you want to discover one of the most beautiful rivers in France with few locks and many places for swimming, we suggest you head off for a cruise along the petite Saône. Villages with stone houses are strewn between the picturesque stopovers, such as Port-sur-Saône, Ray-sur-Saône and, towards the South, Auxonne. There are many regional specialties to try, including morel dishes in particular. To the north, the Canal des Vosges passes through the forest to Fontenoy-le-Chateau and Épinal, famous for its prints. In the exhibitions at the town’s Musée de l’Image (Print Museum), you will find old prints, of Épinal of course, but also from all over the world sitting side by side with more current collections: adverts, educational or decorative images, contemporary artworks etc.
