SELF DRIVE RIVER BOAT RENTALS FROM Saint Léger
This pleasant stopover with all these shops is the starting point for one-way cruises on the Canal du Center towards Dompierre-Sur-Besbre.
The locks are automatic or electric, most of them manned by lock keepers. The locks close the 1st may and the 14th july. Except on the Canal du Center where some are manual.
Recommended experience for navigation on the Doubs.
Between Saint Jean de Losne and Mâcon, docking at a pontoon or in a mandatory port. Otherwise you can moor on the banks, in the countryside.
