Abstract The Petit Rhône Canyon (Gulf of Lions) is incised by a narrow meandering thalweg. Two current meters were moored near the bottom, one in the channel and the other on the levee. None of the measured currents is associated with the sediment transport peculiar to deep-sea fan building. This transport is mainly influenced by relatively high speeds (1 h means up to 48 cm/s; 1 day means 〉 30 cm/s) measured in diverse directions.
