Bastille Day today and
time for France to light up its skies with a cocktail of colour and sound and
for the French to make merry all day.
And on that basis we decided to keep Lobelia on our quiet, out-of-the-way
mooring near Pont de Vaux and cycle towards the mayhem.
But Pont de Vaux was
fairly restrained. The firework display had happened in the rain the night
before. The parades were short and sweet. And only the fishermen were in
evidence.
We enjoyed our cycle
ride and found a pleasant restaurant with a sunny terrace for a convivial
lunch. And then we visited the permanent exhibition linked to the Tourist
Information Centre which was an all singing- all dancing interactive showcase
about the River Saone as it flows through this area. Well worth a visit.
