The Canal du Centre, originally known as the Canal du Charollais, is a French canal running from Digoin, where it now joins the Canal latéral à la Loire, to Chalon-sur-Saône, where it joins the River Saône.
The Canal du Centre, originally known as the Canal du Charollais, was opened in 1792 and made it possible for the first time for boat traffic to pass from the north of France to the south. It goes from Digoin where it now joins the Canal latéral à la Loire, to Chalon-sur-Saône, where it joins the River Saône.
