Set off on our boat journey through Lyon and hoped that we would not meet any large vessels as we manoeuvred around bends and under countless bridges. Our prayers were answered and the trip was peaceful.

| A rain soaked view of the Saone meeting the Rhone |
Stopped off to buy fuel and break the piggy bank and then said farewell to the River Saone and bonjour to the mighty River Rhone and the much deeper much scarier locks.
The River Rhone flows from north to south and links central France to the Mediterranean. It is a river which commands respect and can turn violent rather quickly. But it is a river which promises us an adventure filled with treasures.
(For those interested in finer details of river traffic and who want to know how we are doing, check out : www.cnr.inforhone.fr and look at the navigation section and traffic at locks.)
