The list includes two major rivers, the
Rhine and the
Rhône, that have their source in Switzerland, while others flow out of France into Germany, Luxemburg and Belgium (the
Sarre,
Moselle,
Sambre,
Escaut and
Lys). Cross-border canals change their name at the border. The canals are listed in order of the
Sort name column. Locations given in red are temporary limits of navigation, where continued restoration works are under way or planned. The
Map column should be used in conjunction with the map to the right which may be enlarged, to see the location of the waterway in relation to the overall network. Below the table are
References, grouped together to avoid fastidious repetition, while notes on status, navigability or connections are added under the third column heading 'Navigability'. == See publications listing canals and waterways in France ==
