We spent the entire day painting at the Canal de Nivernais, at Pazy. Renting a boat on the Canal is apparently a favorite holiday for the Brits and just about every boat that floated by while we were painting was a canal boat, similar to the one I have depicted here filled with Brits laughing and calling over to us on shore.

The canal has a series of locks that slow the transit down, so it is not a holiday for anyone in a hurry to go anywhere.
