Ecluse no 81 De Plobsheim - 6th July to 7th July 2023

 Stop at the side of the canal near Illkirch-Graffenstaden for lunch. 

Stopped at the side of the canal near the Ecluse no 81 for the night, no electricity or water. It seems to be that when the map says you can anchor here, the locals and their barges have picked the spots for their permanent stop meaning no room for those of us that are passing by.

Our stop for the night

Water is getting clearer the closer we get to the Rhine

Sunset for the back deck

Chapelle Notre-Dame-du-Chene, was rebuilt in 1451 after the first one built on this site from two farms in 1351 was destroyed in the Hundred Year War



Ecluse no 81, nice to see the eclusiers house being used.

Walking back to the boat there is what I thought was an old building, turns out it's the back of the farmers shed. Photo above and below are from the same broken window one to the right and the other to the left, I didn't know what I had taken until I got back to the boat and had a look.
