Day 97 – Louhans to Dijon- Thursday 21 July
The end of the Seille river at the moorings at Cuisery
The Capitan delivering the morning bread to the boats on his motor bike , please note Catherine, we do not get this service yet at Montceau-Les-Mines
You get some odd boats every now and then
and when we entered the Saone river some mighty ones
The stop at Tournus was really delightful and the weather for the day was kind
Ian, our Aussie pal on ‘Wobbe’ wondering why he is lost
Catch those rays, the clouds are looming
Some of the buildings in this ancient town date back to the last millennium and are still magnificant
Just strolling around we came across a French wedding, the photo call was just as shambolic as it would be in the UK
Great transport but I feel it was too late for the man to get away
Great cloud formations on the river soane
and the famous ‘biscuit’ house near Gergy
shortly after entering the Bourgogne canal the scene changes again to fields and fields of sunflowers
And the mooring at Dijon where we are today

Hi Mr & Mrs T it was lovely to see your next blog and pictures too, I see you are meeting with Simon,Lou and little Stanley, please give them our love..Fer said he had spent some time with you and the car managed to get him back to England ok, I think he was very brave to have chanced the trip in the first place.
I must say you are so lucky to be travelling through France and able to stop at each village of choice and investigate, shame the weather is so awful, it is much the same everywhere but we are hoping for some better weather next week.
We too have started a blog if you would like to see it please go to france-ourlifeinfrance.blogspot.com
