The Ouche is a 90-kilometre long river that starts in Lusigny-sur-Ouche. It seems the name of just about every town along the Ouche ends in “…sur-Ouche.” We spent a night moored in Fleurey-sur-Ouche. We passed through Ste. Marie-sur-Ouche before spending the night at Gissey-sur-Ouche. The next day, we passed by Barbiery-sur-Ouche and St. Victor-sur-Ouche. After a lovely lunch at the Abbaye, we left La Bussière-sur-Ouche for Pont d’Ouche.

We spent one night in Pont d’Ouche. The restaurant in the above photo (called, naturally, Auberge du Pont d’Ouche) was closed so we ate onboard Aleau. There wasn’t much room to moor in Pont d’Ouche so the owner of Christina – a former commercial barge that will turn 100 next year and has been lovingly converted by David and his wife, Lois – graciously invited us to raft alongside him.
