Plessis Chênet





12th September

Journey from Lagny was lovely. This part of the Marne was a big attraction at the time of the impressionists and is where many of the waterside cafes they painted are located. The banks are lined with posh houses, rowing clubs and lidos. Spent last night at Maisons-Alfort on a small pontoon next to a park. Local map at the mooring showed an old fort which we thought looked interesting. The walk was a lot further than it looked on the map and we got to the fort only to discover that it is still in use by the military and not open to the public. Hey ho.

We’re now near Plessis Chênet just below a lock, hoping to get to Melun tomorrow.
