More about the experience along the Burgundy Canal.
At every lock there is a small cottage, marked with the lock number and the location. This cottage is #51, one of the first of the 41 locks we encountered.
The Burgundy countryside is beautiful.
Friends get off and on the barge to walk the tow path, sometimes in groups and sometimes alone.
Cows, horses and sheep contentedly feed in fields along the canal.
Some look up as our barge approaches. More just ignore us.
Farmers toil in other fields.
Herons and mallard ducks are the most common birds. A pair of swans visited on the last day.
Some of the trees are beginning to show autumn colors.
Another lock is usually fifteen to 30 minutes away
Sometimes we pass a single house. Other times a small village.
Most bicycle riders we encounter are solo or in pairs. One afternoon a big group showed up.
A local French woman walks along the tow path, collecting fallen walnuts.
