context_page_description: The Burgundy Canal is a canal in Burgundy, in east-central France. It connects the Yonne at Migennes with the Saône at Saint-Jean-de-Losne. Construction began in 1775 and was completed in 1832. The canal completes the link between the English Channel and the Mediterranean Sea, via the rivers Seine and the Yonne to the Saône and Rhône.
  The canal is 242 km long, with 189 locks. There were originally 191 lock basins, but the double staircase locks at Migennes and Germigny had the uppermost set of gates removed and the lower chamber raised to form single locks, but they are twice as deep as a standard lock.
  The canal passes through the departments of Yonne and Côte-d'Or. Its summit level is at Pouilly-en-Auxois, 378 m above sea level, when the canal passes through a tunnel 3333 m long. The lowest point is at the junction with the Yonne at 79 m above sea level.
