A map showing the position of the Burgundy Canal, the rivers Saône, Yonne, Seine and Loire and other nearby canals.

This is the northern section of the Burgundy Canal. The canal flows from the southeast to the northwest and empties into the River Yonne at Mignennes. The river Yonne flows into the River Seine.

This is the central section of the Burgundy Canal on the northern side, with the town of Pouilly-en-Auxois at the summit. The River Armançon flows laterally alongside the canal, feeding and storing water where necessary. You will also notice the towns of Montbard and Semur-en-Auxois.

This is the southern part of the Burgundy Canal. Water flows southeast and downstream from Pouilly en Auxois, through Dijon, to the River Saône. The River Ouche flows through the market town of Bligny-sur-Ouche and joins the canal at Pont d’Ouche. The Ouche then follows the canal down to the River Saône. Water from the River Ouche is used to compensate for the canal's water supply.

The canal empties into the River Saone at Saint-Jean-de-Losne, whilst the River Ouche joins the River Saone just a few miles north of Saint Jean de Losne.

The River Saône flows southwards and then joins the River Rhone in the Lyon city centre.
