    The Rhone-Rhine Canal is a French canal that connects the Saône, navigable tributary of the Rhone, to the Rhine, by the Doubs valley and its extension in Upper Alsace to Niffer on the Rhine, another extension joining Strasbourg by the canalization from the Ill. It is designed to connect the seaports of northern Europe with those of the Mediterranean by creating a Rotterdam-Marseille river link via Germany.
    The work of the junction between the Saône and the Doubs of Saint-Symphorien-sur-Saône in Côte-d'Or at Dole in the Jura is made with downtime related to the Revolution between 1784 and 1802 by the engineer Philippe Bertrand. They are pursued with interruptions from 1804 to 1832 in the direction of the Rhine under the direction of Joseph Liard. Subsequently, the canal was set to the Freycinet gauge (300 ton barge) between 1882 and 1921, but its traffic remained limited, its setting to the European size of 5000 tons began in the late 1970s: this one It is however carried out only in the eastern part, between Niffer (on the Rhine) and Mulhouse as well as between Montbéliard and Étupes. The project, disputed by environmentalists and some economists, was abandoned in 1997 under the leadership of Dominique Voynet, Minister of Spatial Planning and Environment. Since then, the canal has been geared towards pleasure boating and the tourist development of the regions crossed with numerous developments in the years 2000-2010. fr.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canal_du_Rh%C3%B4ne_au_Rhin
