Canal latéral à la Saône

The canal running through Heuilley-sur-Saône was designed in the 19th century. The dykes protect the village from flooding.

In 1835, a diversion canal was planned in connection with the construction of the Saône - Haute Marne canal (now known as the "Canal entre Champagne et Bourgogne").

Work began in 1839, after the necessary preparatory work had been carried out, which changed the landscape. The canal was brought into service in 1907.
