Canal tour in France - 5 February 2025

 We will be touring central-ish France on a canal boat in September 2025.  This is the approximate route from Joigny to Carbigny.  The route is basically:

• Joigny
• Laroche-Migennes
• Auxerre
• Vincelles
• Vermenton
• Chatel-Censoir
• Clamency
• Tannay
• Corbigny

And this is that Google Maps thinks:

Looking up!

In 1887, this was a muddy spot, busy with workers assembling a giant Erector set. Welcome to the heart of the Eiffel Tower. We were standing in line to buy tickets for the stairway and the line snaked around underneath the landmark. We had plenty of time to look around and look up. A few hundred steps later, we were looking back down at this very spot. We've never taken the elevator to the first level, we've always taken the stairs.

The Restaurant Jules Verne is spectacular, I'm sure, but above our budget, so to speak. There's a restaurant on the Tower, Altitude 95, that we really enjoyed.
