And a few days at Ancien Resto
Tiz dropped me off after supper, and I settled in.
Over the next few days I did a few end-of season chores. Mending broken locks, tidying up the pool area, etc.
The biggest task was getting the internet to work. It's a bit "village" there - i.e. seems to come and go a bit, but it didn't work for the first 12 hours I was there.. a bit unusual. It's a strange set-up. Because Marcilly is out in the wilds, there's no internet ...
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 ...
Enter the Meaghers

We drank a bottle of 2008 Mersault Le Clos de Tavaux – Monopole and a 2008 Pommard 1er Cru Les Rugiens made by Domaine Francoise Gaunoux. The host of the restaurant, obviously realising he was entertaining like-minded people, then produced a 1966 Marc de Burguignone, something similar to a wood-aged grappa. It was about 40% alcohol. It tasted like a mouthful of methylated spirits. ...
A late summer's day
The morning was quite brisk today and we thought maybe this was going to be the start of the cooler autumn weather we have been expecting. Not so. Today was probably the hottest day we have had since leaving Paris, around about 30 I reckon. Perfect weather for driving around the country side and visiting a chateau or two. We planned a pretty basic day again today. Off to a small town called Saint Fargeau that has a large ...
