Among the towns of Bourgogne–Franche-Comté, Gray stands out for its long-standing role as a river port on the Saône. Set in Haute-Saône between Dijon and Besançon, the town developed around trade on this navigable waterway, and its older quarters rise from the riverbank. The 18th-century Basilica of Notre-Dame is a major landmark, while the Renaissance town hall recalls Gray’s former importance as a commercial centre. The Saône still shapes local life, carrying pleasure boats and following riverside walking and cycling routes.
