  Saône, Auxonne - Mâcon (Lyon) 


 This part of the river was already prepared for commercial navigation in order to secure connexion for the planned big ship route between Saône and Rhine. It passes famous wine-growing districts with its adjacent towns. Here the docking facilities are good apart from these however others offer a minimum of infrastructure.
