View of Albigny-sur-Saône Castle

Highlight • Castle

The bike trail follows the old tow path on the east bank of the Saône River, which becomes narrow and car-free, offering great vistas across the river to the handsome bourg (town) and castle of Albigny.

Rochetaillée Lock

Highlight • Structure

Close to its merging with the Rhône river, the canal Rhin-Rhône is using the wide bed of the Saône, except where the barrages were installed to raise the water level because of obstacles or stream flow, making locks necessary. Just passed it when its extension project was completed in 2016: allonger l’écluse de Rochetaillée à 195 mètres afin de l’harmoniser avec celle des autres écluses de l’axe Rhône-Saône. leprogres.fr/amp/rhone-69-edition-val-de-saone/2019/08/24/l-ecluse-de-rochetaillee-un-lieu-ideal-pour-observer-les-bateaux

Rochetaillée-sur-Saône Castle

Highlight • Castle

The Château de Rochetaillée-sur-Saône is located on a hill, high above the city and the river. The castle was built in the 12th century, became state property after the French Revolution in 1790, and gradually decayed. In 1892, Pierre Claude Bellingard carried out a first restoration. With the takeover of the castle in 1902, Jean Joseph Clerc restored the castle and expanded it into a castle. In 1959 Henry Malartre acquired the castle and set up the Museum of the Henri Malartre Museum in it and in a new building. de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rochetaill%C3%A9e-sur-Sa%C3%B4ne
