It is nice to see that it is possible to carry out such renovations and continue to preserve the landscape and a culture.
It also shows that there is money here and that people have the opportunity to earn money.

A cool day is forecast and the sky starts almost cloudless and cold.
The saddlebags are emptied well once the jackets are on.

After coffee + croissant (and pain aux raisins) we continue along the canal.
