| Juniper at Scey-sur-Saône |
July 3 – Friday: Michael makes his croissant and bread run while Joan and Julie enjoy some coffee. It’s been so hot we switched to making cold brew. Quick and easy cuppa in the morning. We make a trip to Netto Groceries and stopped by the Tourist Office. Found a great map that shows walks, hikes and tourist places. Depart Port-sur-Saône at 12:02 pm right into écluse (lock) #5. Two écluses and 10 km later we arrive at the dock/campground in Scey-sur-Saône. Michael stays on board so we can keep the boat open while Joan and Julie walk town. New homes as well old homes that you can only guess how old they are and how much they may or may not have been modernized. Cool evening and a breeze, thank goodness, as we had no power so no fan. Campground next to the dock was busy with campers and bike tourists in tents. A couple guys were having a ball, jumping off the dock to cool off. Back flips and all.

| Château Rupt-sur- Saône |
July 4 – Saturday: Happy Independence Day! Praying we get to keep our democracy. Got the bikes down and rode to Rupt-sur-Saône hoping to see the Château. No such luck. Info on line was confusing on whether you can visit or not. At arrival we just see Privé – Private and no mention of visiting days/hours. At least we got a nice 11 km bike ride in! Passing through a restaurant (literally) on the way we decide to stop for a coffee on the way back. Tables on one side of the road/path next to the canal with main restaurant and patio on the other side. No uncommon here. Next we stop at a Parc with a Château, some animals, (wallabies, goats, deer, horses, peacocks) and a pony club. Walking the grounds it’s underwhelming, but a nice 4km or so walk in mostly shade.
