The N–S trending Bresse Graben (a segment of the European Cenozoic Rift System) is ca. 35–60 km wide and stretches roughly from Lyon to Dijon. It is clearly separated from the Haute-Saône Platform by NNE–SSW to NE–SW oriented normal faults.
The Bresse Graben is filled with Paleogene–Neogene sediments which are up to 2 km thick.
