Charon sur Saone

  After that nice sleep in ,8am, we headed to Chalon . Down hill and a strong tail wind , we did the 25kms in just over an hour. In fact, because it's Sunday and only one bus, we decided I would take the van on ,then bike back to join up on the trail. 

  She was too bloody fast for me wasn't she ?,arrived early and we missed each other. I ended up biking all the way back to Chagney, 20kms, then back again!

  Merde !!

 Any way, that's the central canal behind us. The first half drained to the Loire and this half drains to the Saone.

   Prettiest section of canal yet!

  There was a river festival on ,and the town was humming. Big cruise ship port as well .This river runs to the Rhone  which then runs to the Mediteranian. 

  Biked beside the Saone for another 18 Km's to Gergy. Lovely little camp right on the river with NO campers and NO staff.

  Tres, tres Bon !
