Scey-Maisières, Bourgogne-Franche-Comté, France
Located in the Scey-Maisières area of Bourgogne-Franche-Comté, this weir presents a significant obstacle requiring careful consideration before proceeding. The name itself suggests that paddlers should portage around this feature if they want to avoid damaging their canoe. The weir's classification as a Type 3 indicates a moderately difficult paddling challenge that most paddlers would find problematic to navigate directly.
The site offers no facilities for paddlers, so visitors should arrive fully self-sufficient with all necessary equipment and supplies.

Paddlers planning to visit this weir should come prepared with portage routes identified in advance, as they will need to carry their canoes around the obstacle.
This location represents a practical consideration point for river navigation in the region rather than a destination known for recreational paddling. Those paddling through the area would be wise to scout the weir beforehand and determine whether portaging is the appropriate course of action. Understanding the water conditions and the specific characteristics of this weir before arrival will help ensure a safe passage.
