Saône
a river in eastern France, a right (and the largest) tributary of the Rhône. It is 482 km long and drains an area of approximately 30,000 sq km, with part of the basin in Switzerland. The main tributary is the Doubs. The Saône originates on the southern part of the Lorraine Plateau and flows through the Saône-Rhöne intermontane depression; it is calm and flows along plains. The Saóne is fed primarily by rain, with the highest water levels from November through April. The level rises 3–4 m during flash floods; the mean flow rate near the mouth is approximately 400 cu m per sec. The Saóne is navigable for almost its entire length; the channel contains locks and is embanked in places. The river is connected by canals with the Moselle, Loire, Marne, Seine, and Rhine rivers. The city of Lyon is at the mouth. Want to thank TFD for its existence? Tell a friend about us, add a link to this page, add the site to iGoogle, or visit the webmaster's page for free fun content. |

At Chalons I was put upon the Saone, thence I passed on to he Rhone, whence I descended, merely with the current, to Arles; at Arles I was again placed on my litter, and continued my journey to Marseilles. |
