Nice resting place with a shelter.

The river is wide with some large fish to spot. wonderful villages to explore.

Originally, the Saint-Jean-de-Losne bridge was made of wood and crossed the river diagonally by road no. 27 linking Dijon to Losne. It started on the right bank, a little downstream from the current bridge, and then joined the old Seurre road. The structure was destroyed many times by floods and ice break-ups, but was always rebuilt in the same place until 1830. It was rebuilt in stone from 1833, then rebuilt again after being cut down during the war of 1870… The bridge suffered damage from the war twice more. On June 16, 1940, French engineers blew up an arch, and on September 7, 1944, the retreating Germans dynamited the rest. It was then replaced by a temporary wooden footbridge. After the liberation, the reconstruction work was put out to tender. After all these twists and turns, the bridge was finally rebuilt in the same place in 1950.

We found a nice bar on Rue du Pignon. They also serve good local food!

Saint-Jean-de-Losne, located on the banks of the Saône in Burgundy, is a charming river village renowned for its port and historical heritage. The largest river port in France, it attracts boaters and visitors curious to discover life on the waterfront. The quays, lined with traditional houses and barges, offer a peaceful atmosphere, ideal for a stroll. The historic center, with its narrow streets and monuments, bears witness to its rich past.

For a stopover and a little refreshment, I can recommend the "AU Bistro de la Capitainerie". Here you can sit nicely by the river Doubs before it joins the Saóne.

On Thursdays, there's a small market in the central square, mostly selling regional products. It's very pretty, nestled among the old houses and between the Doubs and Saonne rivers. There are also several cafes and restaurants.
