About the\u00a0Sa\u00f4ne River<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Sa\u00f4ne\u00a0River is 294 miles long and is located in eastern France. It begins in the Vosges department (county) near the border of Germany and ends in Lyon where it meets the Rh\u00f4ne.<\/p>\n

The Sa\u00f4ne is connected to a few other waterways that are often traveled by river barge boats. About 16 miles southeast of Dijon, the river joins the Burgundy Canal in the city of Saint Jean. And the Canal du Centre links the Loire River to the Sa\u00f4ne.<\/p>\n

The Seine and Sa\u00f4ne rivers are also connected through a couple of different waterways \u2013 the Yonne River and the Burgundy Canal. Smaller vessels can travel between the Seine and Sa\u00f4ne rivers.<\/p>\n
