A very nice way. The numerous locks and the associated houses of the smugglers are particularly worth seeing.

Opened to traffic in 1907, the canal between Champagne and Burgundy (formerly the Marne-Saône canal) extends over 224 kilometers between Vitry-le-François and Marcilly-sur-Saône. It provides the river connection between the navigable networks of the Seine and the Rhône. It required major works: fixed bridges, swing bridges, footbridges, aqueduct, but also tunnels and artificial lakes for its water supply. He requested the digging of a 4,821 meter tunnel (fourth river tunnel in France) which passes some 50 meters under the church of Balesmes as well as the construction of the 4 lakes of the Pays de Langres. The landscapes crossed as well as its calm make it one of the most beautiful canals in France.

This very beautiful lake is one of those reservoir lakes built on the course of the Vingeanne at the very beginning of the last century. The town located on its shore is called Villegusien-le-Lac!
