The Canal du Centre was designed to connect the two major rivers, the Loire and the Saône, for commercial purposes. It links Chalon-sur-Saône, a town on the banks of the Saône, to Digoin, on the banks of the Loire. It is 112 kilometers long. This waterway provided Burgundy with an invaluable asset at the time, connecting the Mediterranean Sea to the Atlantic Ocean. The first stone was laid in 1784. The first barge sailed on the canal in 1791, in the midst of the French Revolution.
