The level of water is satisfactory all year round, there are not many locks (3 locks in Rives de Sa\u00f4ne), the river is wide and the natural environment is preserved. Sailing is authorised here all year round, except during periods when the water level is very high. The Sa\u00f4ne is divided into 2 sections:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>The Petite Sa\u00f4ne<\/strong>from Corre to Saint-Jean-de-Losne,<\/li>\n<li><strong>The Grande Sa\u00f4ne<\/strong>from Saint-Jean-de-Losne to where it meets the Rh\u00f4ne.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Most locks are automatic or semi-automatic. There are lights to regulate the different steps of manoeuvers. Make sure you ask someone to explain to you how the locks work and ask for the guide (please note that locks are closed on 01\/05).<\/p>\n<p>In Saint-Jean-de-Losne, go under the bridge to access the\u00a0<strong>Canal de Bourgogne\u00a0<\/strong>and sail to Dijon through around twenty locks, spread out over approximately thirty kilometres. This small canal allows you to sail from the waters of the Seine and Yonne, to those of the Sa\u00f4ne and the Rh\u00f4ne.<\/p>\n<p>On the\u00a0<strong>Canal du Rh\u00f4ne au Rhin<\/strong>, the services are available for two periods in the year: high season (summer-time period) and low season (winter-time period). Sailing is not possible in between these periods. The sailing times vary depending on the period.<\/p>\n<p>Plan for your trip depending on the size of your boat, and the time you would like to take based on the river itinerary calculation available on the website\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.vnf.fr\/calculitinerairefluvial\/app\/Main.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u201cVoies Navigables de France\u201d<\/a>.
