    Beautiful little town with a bridge that spans the excellent cycle path and the historic Canal du Centre (1793).

      Agricultural and wine-growing village (the vine has almost disappeared in contemporary times), Saint-Léger-sur-Dheune was transformed into a town at the beginning of the 19th century with the digging of the Canal du Center filled with water in 1793 and later (1861-1867) the arrival of the Nevers - Chagny railway. Commercial and industrial activities then developed such as tile works, plaster works from a gypsum quarry in Charrecey and coal mining from 1830 to 1900. The population almost tripled in a century (1786: 915 inhabitants - 1836: 1,755 inhabitants - 1891: 2,395 inhabitants) to then decline with economic developments such as the abandonment of activities with a loss of profitability (mines, vineyards) and the decline of merchant navigation on the canal.
      After a low point in 2000 with 1,330 inhabitants, the town regained a certain demographic growth (2007: more than 1,500 inhabitants) with new activities (mechanical and boilermaking workshops, transport) and also an opening to tourism and creation. a nautical stop for boating on the Canal du Center as well as a greenway for cyclists on the towpath from Chagny to Digoin. fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint-L%C3%A9ger-sur-Dheune

        The bridge spans the excellent paved flat bike trail and the historic 1793 Canal du Centre, connecting at Chalon-sur-Saône the transeuropean EuroVelo 6 route (coming from the Black Sea) with the ViaRhôna route and leads via Digoin to the Loire Valley trails and Nantes with its intersection of EuroVelo 1 Vélodyssée along the Atlantic coast.
