Port Saône-Et-Loire

At the small Verdun-sur-le-Doubs marina, Nathalie is your captain. She'll guide you through the mooring process (first hour free of charge). The harbor master's office has undergone a complete overhaul, with a host of new services, including a renovated and redecorated bar open to all visitors, offering drinks and snacks with a view of the boats and the Doubs. The harbourmaster's office also offers rentals of rosalies (€15 per hour) and kayaks (€20 per two-seater for 1h30).

Chalon-sur-Saône is the place to be if you're just out for a stroll, or if you want to spend a week cruising the canals or the Saône. Many yachtsmen sail up or down the wide river, and enjoy stopping off in the city of Chalon. This pretty port is a haven of peace right in the center of town. Open all year round, it has around 150 berths and a water and electricity supply. Numerous services available at the harbor master's office.

This small marina is the first nautical stopover from Chalon-sur-Saône. Twenty or so berths equipped with electric hook-ups are available. Take the opportunity to stroll along the greenway and discover the surrounding countryside thanks to the bike rental service. On-site tourist information and practical facilities make this a pleasant place to stay all year round. A large play area in the shape of a boat is a welcome addition for families.

Locaboat is a company that both manages the harbourmaster's office and offers boats for rent. This small port allows boaters to stop over in the pretty town of Saint Léger sur Dheune. Twelve mooring rings and equipment allow you to stop over in complete serenity. Wifi, toilets, electricity. On the rental side, the company offers boats with or without a licence to sail freely along the canal. Three possible itineraries can be proposed so that occasional boaters can make the most of their run-of-river tour. A weekend in the heart of the vineyards of Santenay, an epicurean stay that joins Louhans and Chalon sur Saône and another that is called Vieilles pierres et grand cru that over a week brings together the first two. A fabulous way to discover Burgundy at the rhythm of a cruise.
