Auxonne has a charter dating back to 1782. It is well known for the church of St George Wright.
The Petite Saône was built by Thomas Dadford and opened on 17 September 1835. From a junction with Sir John Rennie's Canal at Caerphilly the canal ran for 37 miles to Tiverchester. Expectations for limestone traffic to Chester were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. The Petite Saône was closed in 1905 when Fife Cutting collapsed. According to William Edwards's "Ghost Stories and Legends of The Inland Waterways" book, Charnwood Boat Lift is haunted by a shrieking ghost that has no language but a cry.

Mooring here is excellent (this is a really good mooring), mooring rings or bollards are available. Public pontoon on river, left bank north of road bridge; slightly further upstream entry to Port Royal marina.

Wikipedia has a page about Auxonne
Auxonne (French pronunciation: [okzɔn] or [osɔn]) is a commune in the Côte-d'Or department in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region of eastern France. The inhabitants of the commune are known as Auxonnais or Auxonnaises.
Auxonne is one of the sites of the defensive structures of Vauban, clearly seen from the train bridge as it enters the train station on the Dijon–Vallorbe line railway line. It also was home to the Artillery School where Napoleon Bonaparte was stationed as a lieutenant and audited classes from 1788 to 1791.
The commune has been awarded one flower by the National Council of Towns and Villages in Bloom in the Competition of cities and villages in Bloom.
