    This 154 meter long dam is made of dressed stone. It was built at the end of the 19th century. Today it plays a major role in preserving the environment of the large park of Miribel-Jonage.

    The locks on the Jonage canal are of the type of the Sault lock built on the Haut-Rhône in 1888. This dam is part of the Jonage canal, a bypass of the Rhône built to supply the Cusset hydroelectric plant in Villeurbanne , as well as to ensure the continuity of navigation upstream of Lyon. The Vieux Rhône merges into the canal in the territory of Vaulx-en-Velin before it re-forms the Rhône by joining the Miribel canal on the border of Vaulx-en-Velin and Villeurbanne
