Ways to get to Saint Jean de Losne by boat

1/ For a weekend you can go to Auxonne, Seurre, Chalon, Dole, Dijon or just drop anchor or tie to a tree on the river Saône and fish or swim.

2/ For a week you can take the Marne canal to Langres, the Burgundy canal to the top pound, up the Doubs to Besançon, down the Saône to Macon or Lyon, the Canal du Centre (best in the autumn as the vineyards are absolutely gorgeous when the leaves turn gold), or up the Saône through the villages along the river to Gray and beyond.

3/ For those lucky enough to get a month's break or more, you can take a loop North via Nancy or Strasbourg or Paris, or even go down to the Med for a week at sea if you have a suitable vessel.
