Chalon-sur-Saône, Administrative commune in Saône-et-Loire, France
Chalon-sur-Saône extends across both banks of the Saône River, featuring urban architecture and industrial areas within its 115 square kilometer territory.
The settlement, known as Cabillonum during Roman times, developed as a strategic trading post along the Via Agrippa transportation network in ancient Gaul.
The city celebrates its connection to photography through exhibitions and events, honoring Nicéphore Niépce who created the first permanent photograph in 1826.
The railway station connects travelers to Paris and Lyon, while the city center provides administrative services, shopping districts, and educational facilities.
Every July, the streets transform during the Chalon dans la Rue festival, where performers from multiple countries present outdoor shows throughout the city.
