canal du Loing et Briare

Moret sur Loing




A few pictures from our recent whirlwind trip from Migennes to Briar. These waterways definitely merit a more sedate journey - perhaps sometime in the future.
Moret sur Loing



The beautiful Moret was home to the impressionist painter, Alfred Sisely. The town is very proud of this artistic connection and has information boards at various locations showing the paintings executed by Sisely at those spots.

Rogny les Sept Ecluses

Staircase of 7 ecluses taken out of service in 1887 after 245 years of use and replaced by a chain of 6 locks - the barge is exiting the first of these 'new' locks.

Briare church mosaic clock. The church is decorated with mosaics inside and out.

Doing our maritime duty. Towing a fellow boater in distress onto the next port.
 This next is for you Emma and Andrew!
