Chagny to St Jean de Losne.

Lovely decorated lock sides on the way to CHAGNEY.  Here we wait for Claire to arrive from England for a couple of days.

Met for a quick beer in               the village square with            Bruce and Janine (NZ)             who we have been bumping        into for the last few weeks.

A quick cycle ride back to the Village of Santenay to visit the Chateau but unfortunately the wrong time for a quick wine tour.                                                        Loved the sculptures in the gardens though…

Claire arrives in Chagney 

Now leaving the canals and joining the     River Saone, heading first for                 Chalon-sur-Saone, then St Jean de Losne.

A Huge 29m lock with drop gates….luckily it has floating bollards..

CHALON-sur-SAONE.  Lovely town which we first enjoyed back in 2012..Garden at entrance to the Port de Plaisance. Photography was invented by a native of Chalon-sur-Saone, Joseph Nicephore Niepce.  Hence photography is displayed in the flower gardens.

A lovely night out with Claire, cocktails then a meal..yum,yum.

Chalon has some lovely old wooden houses dating back to the 15-18th C.

Saying a double goodbye to Claire.. Next time we see her it will be in Sydney as she has returned to live in the city she loves.  

     Before we could leave Chalon-sur-Saone we had to wait for a floating Island to          pass us by. And eventually be towed away….but where???????

And we say goodbye to Bruce and Janine…before we finally set off on the home leg to St Jean de Losne.
