Discover the enchanting beauty of Saone, a river that gracefully flows through Lyon, France. As night falls, the cityscape comes alive with the mesmerizing sight of the River Saone and the majestic cathedral St. Jean illuminated in all its glory. Lyon, also known as Lyons, is a vibrant city located at the confluence of Rhone and Saone rivers. History echoes along these waters as it witnessed significant events like the defeat of a quarter of Swiss soldiers in the Saone pass. A symbol of strength stands tall on one of its bridges - a lion statue guarding over Lyon's connection to this magnificent river. Bridges spanning across Saone River create picturesque scenes that captivate every passerby. The bridge not only serves as a means to cross but also offers breathtaking views that leave an everlasting impression. Saone's influence extends beyond Lyon; it reaches Haute-Saone (Haute Saône), Franche Comte (Franche-Comté) - France and its Colonies. An atlas from 1876 showcases this region through detailed maps depicting war depots, bridges, footwear production centers, and naval routes curated by M. VUILLEMIN. Remembered for his military prowess is General Nicolas Anne Théodule Changarnier who left an indelible mark on French history while being associated with Saône region. Vesoul, situated in Haute-Saône department within Grand Est region proudly bears witness to Saône's presence as it serves as their prefecture town. Even outside Lyon's boundaries, traces of this remarkable river can be found in Paris' Place Louvois where a fountain adds charm to this bustling square captured beautifully in black and white photography.
