Luciole Blog

8th - 14th September 2019

Our cruise finished in Auxerre, and we were rewarded during Captain’s Diner, when the full moon rose over the River Yonne. Simply amazing seeing the moon shine reflected down the water.

Earlier in the day, in late summer sunshine we had toured Auxerre. Taking in the sights before enjoying early aperitifs in the the Café d’Horloge, beside the Marie (Town Hall).

We returned to the barge to find the Luciole hosts had laid the table in delightful fashion. As the evening drew to a close, we celebrated Suzie’s birthday with a spun sugar gateau before striding up on to the Passerelle to see the moon and the city reflected onto the Yonne. Memorable.
