We're at Lay Saint Remy tonight ready to traverse the Foug tunnel tomorrow morning. This one is a mere 866m long. Unlike the Mauvages tunnel you can see right through to the exit from the entrance. We've been this way before and not so long ago but what a difference a few weeks makes. We have the canal virtually to ourselves. Today we saw only 3 boats one of which was the first hire boat we've seen in...well, weeks. It's perfect cruising; peaceful, beautiful weather and a whole day (a short one admittedly) without locks. The biggest decision of the day - the only one in fact - was whether we'd like this morning's baguette 'bien cuite' (well cooked) or not.
Toul tomorrow.

ReplyDeleteThanks for continuing to follow the trip Emma. Knee's not great but improving very slowly.
ReplyDeleteThat's good to hear that it's improving, although slowly. Another month or so and you guys will be back! Looking forward to seeing you!
