Auxonne is a wonderful home. The town is small but delightful. The marina has everything we need. At each mooring spot there is a “borne” to which we can plug in and get shore power. It is metered so we pay for whatever electricity we use. There’s also a water tap at each mooring spot. Aleau’s potable water tank holds 3,000 litres. We fill up from the tap and then refill when necessary. The mooring costs us €2,500 (almost $4,000 Cdn.) a year. Electricity, about €2,000 (a little more than $3,000) a year. At least the water is free.
