We left in the afternoon as it is a short trip to Baume les Dames. All good on a sunny day. The capitainierre has a nice restaurant steps from the boat. Enjoyable outside patio as well. We are away from the town so it is quiet, and the Super U store just a walk away. On Sunday there was a big garage sale in the parking lot of the store. We found all sorts of good things to supplement the clothes that we didn't have! Good fun too. We bicycled to a lock up the ways and helped a new boating friend, Jean Pierre, with a large lock. Explored the area. Another day we hiked up to the Croix de Chatard, high up on the cliff overlooking the town. Great views up there of all of the area. Made it a loop trip and the second half was a worse trail and steep! Glad we had hiking poles and that we made it down. Turned out that we ended up at the place we had biked to! Next time we go back down the other way. Had dinner at the Capitainierre...
Took Juniper from Dole down the Rhine au Rhine to the Saone River and past Saint Jean des Losne to Seurre. Swans and cows!!! Went through our first BIG LOCK. Got there early evening and walked through the town. Beautiful waterfront park. Good dinner by chef Ann! Relaxing morning and then went from Seure to Chalon sur Saone and the second big lock. We seem small in these large locks meant to hold the barges we have been seeing in the river hauling commerce. Chalon is a lively place with lots of restaurants nearby and stores for anything we might need. Settled on going out to a nice lunch and it was very good!!! Good meals on board with Ann cooking and the market foods. Lots of fresh fruits and vegetables. Got chores done and enjoyed the city!
