BIG BARGES

Now that we are on the Seine the traffic is much larger. We thought we were big but..........when you moor amongst the big boys we're really quite small!!

Soraya sandwiched for the night between two commercial barges at Bray-sur-Seine

Make way, we're coming through!!

Leave room for us!

Commercial traffic always takes priority, so you must never hold them up or go first into the locks. They are all a friendly bunch as long as you are courteous, with a wave as they go past. Most of them have been barging all their lives and you certainly don't want to get on the wrong side of them.
