The morning after visiting Santenay, we puttered up the Canal as far as Saint-Léger-sûr-Dheune. There was even less going on there than in Santenay, what with the August holiday, so we had a great meal at a restaurant on the canal, spent the day relaxing on the deck, and set off in the morning heading back down the canal on our return trip. By afternoon we were at Chagny again, and the following morning saw us heading back to Gigny to return the boat. Yes, there you have it, two solid days of watching the world float by – people tending their gardens or hanging laundry in their back yards, lock keepers checking on gates, herds of the famous Charolais cows chewing their cud, and clouds scuttling across the sun:
And then, rather abruptly, we were back in the car and on the way to Paris again!
