La guinguette used to be common sight at most ports, however, they seem to be fewer and fewer. It's at times like this, a beautiful summers evening that you're just gagging for a guinguette to quench that thirst with a drink or two. We are mooring at a lovely little port plaisance called Pont l'Évêque on the Canal Latéral à l'Oise close to Noyon. Very pretty but why no guingettes, restaurants or bars. In other places of similar ilk it would be crawling with Chelsea tractors with their loud India's and Giles's. Well that's not a bad thing I agree but nothing apart from a post office, a pharmacie and a very small boulangerie? There really is a demand for evening substanance and refreshment or even a bit of music, hence the guinguettes.
Port plaisance Pont l'Évêque, not a bar in sight
