The biketrail here crosses the increasingly wide Saône river on this modern bridge with ample shoulders for pedestrians and bikes, affording an opportunity to take in the views across the busy shipping traffic on this stretch of the Saône as part of the Canal Rhin-Rhône, and enjoy a unique perspective on the old town of Mâcon and Saint-Clément on the west bank, and Saint-Laurent on the East bank of the river, which is now essentially an island thanks to the canal deviation taking an old river arm around the town's eastern perimeter.

Nice view from the bridge of the river and the old town.
At least with a bike path.
