Considered an important center for the wine trade, Chalon-sur-Saône lies at the entrance to France’s famed Dijon region. The city’s quays border the Saône at its junction with the Canal du Centre. The two lofty steeples of the 17th-century Church of St. Pierre can be seen from anywhere in the city. Other architectural treasures include the crypt of St. Benigne and the 13th-century Church of St. Vincent.
