EspañolCANAL OF BURGUNDY
(Redirected from Canal de Bourgogne)
The 'Canal of Burgundy' (French: ''Canal de Bourgogne'') is a canal in Burgundy in central eastern France. There are two river entrances; to the north the Yonne River allows access in the town of Migennes, and in the south the Saône allows access in the town Saint-Jean-de-Losne. The construction began in 1727 and was completed in 1832. The canal connects the Atlantic Ocean to the Mediterranean Sea via the Yonne and Seine to the Saône and Rhône. Barges transport goods along the river.
The canal is 242 km long, with 209 canal locks. It passes through the departments of Burgundy, Yonne, and Côte-d'Or. The highest point of the canal is the "partition" at Pouilly-en-Auxois, which is 378 m above sea level. The lowest point is at the junction with the Yonne at 79 m above sea level.
