Learn how to operate a lock
Learn how to operate a lock with our
interactive animation showing the different steps in operating the
lock to allow boats to pass through. This will be very help for
those who have never operated a lock, as some sections of the canal
require you to lock yourself through without the assistance of a
lock keeper. There are also fully automatic locks which only required
that you push on a button to start the process.
Information about each lock on the canal
A complete list from one end of the canal to the other. The distances
from one lock to the next, from the Yonne and from the Saône.
Very useful pages for exploring what is available at each lock.
- Locks on the Yonne side, from Laroche Migennes to Pouilly en Auxois.
- Locks on the Saône side, from Saint Jean de Losne to Escommes.
