The Rhine-Rhône Canal (official name: Canal du Rhône au Rhin) is a French shipping canal that runs in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté and Grand Est regions. The canal connects the valleys of the Saône and Rhine rivers across the Burgundian Gate watershed between the Vosges and the Jura.
The canal is 237 km long and has 112 locks, 40 on the Rhine and 72 on the Saône. There are numerous berthing options, although the number is drastically reduced for yachts with a large draft. Maximum headroom: 3.4 meters. The locks are 5.10 meters widetranslated by•June 3, 2022
