Briare, Chatillion-sur-Loire 21-24 May 2023 We had planned to stay a few days in Briare where we had originally planned to moor for the winter last year, but were unable to get there due to low water levels.
Rogny-Les-Sept_Ecluses, La Bussière, Ouzouer-sur-Trézée 16-20 May 2023 The Canal du Briare was the first watershed canal built in France - that is one that links two valleys rather than following a river. Rogny-Les-Sept-Ecluses was the last town we stayed in going up hill, and it was there that the canal started to no longer follow the Loing River. Ouzouer-sur-Trézée is the first town on the way down the other side and was our next stop after Rogny. Château de La Bussière
Montbouy, Nogent-sur-Vernisson, Châtillion-Coligny 12-15 May 2023 Everything is going smoothing on our cruise of the Canal to Briare, including getting our packages.
Montargis FR 10-12 May 2023 Our first stop on the Canal de Briare was at Montargis. We had been told that this was a beautiful town, decorated with lots of flowers. Unfortunatley we were too early for the flowers, but we still found it a beautiful town. It is nicknamed the "Venise du Gatinais" because of the many small canals that run through the town.
Moret-sur-Loing, St Mammés, Nemours, Nèronville, Chateau Landon 3-9 May 2023 After leaving the Seine we travelled down the Canal du Loing which follows roughly the route of the river Loing which is a tributary of the Seine. Our mooring in Nemours
Coudray, Melun, Samois-sur-Seine, Thomery, Moret-sur-Loing 27 April - 2 May 2023 Officically Spring starts in France on 21 March, so we were expecting the weather to warm up. The forecast kept telling of mid-20s C next week, but next week never seemed to arrive. However we have now had a couple of days where the central heating hasn't come on in the morning so we are getting there. We were cruising on the Seine down to Moret sur Loing. The furthest south we got on our cruise last year.
