Cinco de Mayo

Street behind us lined with tall, steeped roofed buildings.

 Our day in Auxonne. Some sun, some rain.

We left St Jean de Losne after repairs and at Auxonne. Wandered around and saw the Armitage, the walls built by Vauban, and the artillery school attended by Napolian Bonaparte. 

Next day we wandered through town and spent time at the Cathedral.  Shopped at Boulangerie, Boucherie and Marche de Poisson and the Large grocery, Intermarche. Interesting architecture here with steep roofs and tall buildings. Some of the wooden buildings from the 14th/15th century.  Some very old brick and cobbles,  some stone and carvings. 

Back the boat for Cinco De Mayo fajitas!! 

Tomorrow we travel.

Deluz to Baume les Dames

 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...
