What is Canal de Bourgogne?
[[File:Canal_de_Bourgogne_-_tracé.png|thumb|Current route of the canal]] The '''Canal de Bourgogne''' (English: Burgundy Canal) is a [[canal]] in [[Burgundy]] in east-central France. It is 242 km (150 miles) long, with 189 [[Lock (water transport)|locks]]. It connects the [[Yonne (river)|Yonne]] at [[Migennes]] with the [[Saône]] at [[Saint-Jean-de-Losne]]. It was built between 1775 and 1832. It makes a link between the [[English Channel]] and the [[Mediterranean Sea]], from the rivers [[Seine]] and the Yonne to the Saône and [[Rhône]]. In the North it follows the valley of the [[Armançon]] river. There is a 3-kilometre long [[tunnel]] at its highest point, at [[Pouilly-en-Auxois]], only wide enough for one-way traffic.<ref>{{Cite web|title=French Waterways in Detail //Canal de Bourgogne|url=https://www.french-waterways.com/waterways/central/canal-bourgogne/|access-date=2023-04-19|website=French Waterways|language=en-GB|archive-date=2022-06-10|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220610143700/https://www.french-waterways.com/waterways/central/canal-bourgogne/|url-status=dead}}</ref> == References == {{reflist}} [[Category:Canals in France]] [[Category:Bourgogne-Franche-Comté]]
