The Seille and the Market in Louhans

La Seille

The Seille is a small tributary of the Saone that is navigable up to the town of Louhans. There are four locks on the Seille, the first one (La Truchere) is manned by a lock keeper but the other three are manual locks that have to be operated by the passing boats.

We stopped in Cuissery our first night on the Sielle. Cuissery is one of the four designated “book towns” in France and there are some amazing bookstores here.

Louhans

Louhans is a pretty town that has a huge market on Monday. People come from miles around (and the traffic shows it).

Lots of folks at the Louhans Market

And they have live animals at this market and we saw several people going home with chickens.

Finding the perfect chicken.

But some of us stuck with more traditional fare.

Sampling the regional specialties
Mirabelles anyone? Anyone?
Our bounty, summer tomato salad.
