Since 1934, the Compagnie Nationale du Rhône (CNR) has been in charge of the concession of the Rhone River for its development and improvement. Three missions are developed within this framework: electricity production, navigation and irrigation of agricultural land. The waterways allow you to discover an exceptional natural heritage. From Lyon to the sea, there are 330 km of waterways open to you thanks to 14 locks managed by CNR. Passing through the locks is free of charge, but boaters must pay VNF for a "vignette de plaisance fluviale".

The Eaux de Marseille group brings together some 17 companies, including the SEM (Société des eaux de Marseille). Its main mission: to guarantee the distribution of drinking water in Marseille and beyond, thus ensuring the comfort and health of some 2 million people. At the same time, it is also necessary to clean up waste water and thus preserve the natural environment. Marseille water has a very good reputation and is among the best quality water in the country. This is due to the work of the members of this group. For any individual problem related to the water network or its distribution, you will get the necessary help.
