It is in the Bas-Rhône, downstream of Lyon, that the Compagnie Nationale du Rhône has been able to carry out its initial triple objective; the production of energy, irrigation and navigation. This was a programme which was achieved through the construction of twelve hydroelectric complexes , but which also included the port of Lyon and the Palier d’Arles locks.
