An old towboat on the old canal. Regular trips take place in the summer. It's the perfect way to slow down.

It's wonderful to cycle along the canal here. It's not for racing, but ideal for leisurely bike rides. The fact that there are a few more or less successful works of art along the way is a nice bonus.
