Fog then Sun
... to berth not far from Marnay..
Here we get the bikes off and ride through the two nearby villages, Givry sur Saone and Marnay. Marnay in particular was very pretty. The residents were obviously proud of their village and their houses were beautifully maintained, with pretty gardens etc. We came upon a petanque championship, which we watched for a few minutes. None of the local restaurants were open for dinner so we cooked sausages on board and then relatively early to ...

We planned a pretty basic day again today. Off to a small town called Saint Fargeau that has a large ...
A town called Auxerre
... by the life size Mary Poppins holding pride of place in the main hall of the cathedral. In case you are doubting, see the pic below. This building also housed an impressive Gallo-Roman museum of artefacts found locally. Very impressive. Auxerre is a much more intact medieval town than some others we have been to.
