Fort de Villey-le-Sec, Savoyeux and Seveux, Lorraine, Franche-Comte

Fort de Villey-le-Sec is a fortification of the 19th century and is one of the defenses of Toul.  Much of the fort has remained intact.  The day we visited there was a car show outside the Fort and a Craft show inside.
The Craft show was well attended.
Part of the fort built in 1890.
Some of the fort was in ruins.
The car show had some cute old cars on display.
Not all of our cruising is beautiful pastures, happy cows, overgrown rivers and quaint villages.  Industry and commerce is also along the rivers and canals.  The waterways provide transportation of goods throughout Europe.

The industrial views of cruising.

The canals continue to play an important roll in the moving of materials around the countryside.


These locks are extremely tight for Rabelo and have extensive vegetation growing on the walls on one side.
Cruising along the river
It's always amazes me when we are on a canal crossing over a river. 

Our favorite meal "grazing."
A beautiful wine to accompany our meal.
