Yes this monstrosity is the deepest lock in France near Rechicourt le Chateau |
We went for a walk along a path that took us past the 4 or 5 locks abandoned in 1965 and we speculated as to why when commercial traffic was in decline and tourism had not yet taken off on the canals, this new colossal lock was built.

We are now moored at a village with the unpronounceable name of Xouaxange. The navicarte boasted of the impressive chateaux ruins!

Woo-hoo! as Rachel would say. |
We went through that lock in September this year
