Villers sur Yonne to Flez Cuzy / Flez Cuzy to Monceaux Le Comte

A lovely morning at Villiers-sur-Yonne


Wednesday 23rd April
Villiers-sur-Yonne to Flez-Cuzy (Tannay)
5 Locks, one swing bridge 9.5km


We had an easy trip to Flez-Cuzy near Tannay. It was another beautiful sunny morning, we were moored up by 12.15pm.  After lunch we cycled up to Tannay to look around, the bakers were closed until 3.30pm, so we decided not to wait and cycled back down the hill to the boat.  We visited Tannay last year, but walked up the hill, it was much easier on our bikes (especially on the way down).  Later in the afternoon we walked over the river Yonne to Flez-Cuzy to at Bar/restaurant that said they were also a Pain Depot, and we bought the last baguette and we each had a small glass of the local vino, 4 euros.


Our last lock of the day, a double lock

The leaves are starting to come out
We also saw our first family of ducklings today, very cute


Our mooring at Flez Cuzy a Le Boat centre

This is the wine cave we visited at Tannay last year, we still have lots left from last year
Its worth visiting, they do great reds, and a very nice Chardonnay

Flez-Cuzy to Monceaux le Comte
3 locks one swing bridge 5km

It rained during the night but we woke up to another lovely sunny, and very mild morning. We left at 9am as we had arranged to be at our first lock for 9.30am, and just as we arrived the lady eclusier arrived in her van. She took us through our 3 locks for the day and we arrived at Monceaux le Comte at 11.40am.  We saw no other boats today.  We moored up in a lovely spot where they have massive tree trunks piled up being constantly watered.  We walked into the small village to see if the advertised Bolangerie was open, but it was closed due to illness.  We located the restaurant we are booked in for tonight, it looks great and then walked back to the boat to read our books and attempt some more fishing.
