Auxerre Agent Rendezvous 2017

Kindly visiting from around the globe, a group of barge agents, on a short cruise from Vincelles to Auxerre. Wined and dined in the evening in celebration of 50 years of barging, a speech by the man who started it all, Richard Parsons, aptly joined by his son George who was helping us out on the Luciole.

Some major changes on the Luciole; moving of the stair case to create more room in the saloon, new passenger bathrooms in the stern and new crew cabins in the bow. A mammoth effort by all to get her ready on time, of which we are extremely grateful to all the effort put in.

Dinner was then served for 32 in a hotel on the quay. A lovely evening shared by old and new faces. We thank those who joined us and those who helped out.
