As blog readers will know we stop now and again not for reasons within our control. We got back from a trip to a wedding in Antibes, which was superb. Upon our return we by chance met the Capitaine and exchanged the usual pleasantries, which included a normal 'when are you leaving', we replied tomorrow. A while later a knock at the door. Sorry I forgot to tell you there has been a canal breach in a pound a few locks upstream, where we are headed. Out with the maps to confirm exactly where it is. Yes it is only 7km away!!! No point setting off.
Enchanting ceramic work on the restaurant Brasserie du Casino next to our mooring.
This situation is exacerbated by the fact that three locks downstream the lock is under full restoration and will not be in full working order until September. So we are in Sarrreguemines for a bit longer. Lucky it's a pleasant place. We are literally stuck between a 'lock' and a 'hard place', a dry canal. I suppose we could navigate the 13km back and forth. Perhaps not.
