This tunnel-canal, classified on the list of historical monuments, is 681 meters long. It avoids a long detour made by the Saône.

Its construction was the subject of two phases of work, the war campaigns having interrupted the construction site. It started in 1838 and ended in 1882.

Savoyeux Tunnel

Highlight • Other

The Savoyeux underground, also called the Savoyeux vault, was completed in 1843. It allows boats to pass from the Petite Saône to the Saône.

The tunnel is 642 meters long and 6.55 meters wide.

There was no towpath in the tunnel, which forced the horses to go around the structure. The boatmen therefore had to move forward by pulling on the chains present along the walls of the underground.

Tunnel de Savoyeux

Highlight • Structure

The Tunnel de Savoyeux is an underground canal that diverts the Saône between two of its meanders near Savoyeux, in Haute-Saône, France. It was completed in 1843 and made it possible to sail the small Saône to the Saône. It is 642.5 meters long and 6.55 meters wide. It has no path for pulling the boats, so the skippers had to pull the boats with chains attached to the walls of the tunnel. It also has a lock at the end of the tunnel

August 21, 2023,La Voie Bleue… de Jussey à Autet

We started today via a side road variant of La Voie Bleue - instead of the main road with mountains and valleys. We then mastered the first construction site with Brett as an inclined plane, just in time before the construction workers arrived. 😅... In Port-sur-Saône we treated ourselves to the first coffee. We love Bar&Tobacco - everything is there: …
