Port du Canal in Dijon is an ancient harbor river hub that is now used as both a functioning marina as well as a popular riverside attraction. The harbor and marina were originally constructed in 1832 by the order of King Louis XV of France in order to link the Saone and Yonne rivers. The marina has a large pool which is often filled with swans and tour ride boats, a garden, and several historic sculptures and monuments. After a day of picnics and boat tours, stop by at one of the nearby cafes and restaurants for a cool drink and a hot meal.
