Well we are now at a little place called Ciry le noble which is 3 hours away from Montceau les Mines. We spent 2 nights there, but the moorings were not good, one night we were 3 rafted away from the shore, the 2nd night 2 barges away, it didnt stop raining and our neighbours definitely not good!! The market however is even better than Chagny, it happens on saturday mornings and is HUGE. The food part was excellent too and we stocked up on really cheap fruit and vegetables. Getting out of the Port de Plaissance was not quick or easy, best to show you in pictures.....

 The first of the bridges blocking our way... took ages for them to realise we were there....

 Eventually it shot up in the air and we were through the first,

 Next a swing bridge.....

 Gosh so high, made us feel very important although it took them 10 minutes to notice us, probably eating again.....

 the 3rd lift bridge at last we were on open waterways again!!!

 Crazy caravan on a boat base........

Two really cute pictures of Patrice, sorry folks....That's all for now!!
