Photographer’s Note
Cruise on a barge on the Cher river with passage under the castle of Chenonceau.
On this heat day, we embarked on the Belandre, barge which sails on the Cher river, destination the castle of Chenonceau; the passage will be done here.
The Cher river takes its source at Merinchal in the "Creuse" department. It is the affluent who joins the left bank of the Loire downstream from Tours at Villandry. 350 km length, it is the longest affluent of the Loire; its depth is low, it varies between 1,20 and 1,50 meters. The navigable part requires flat-bottomed boats .
Until the 19th century the barges transported the micaceous chalk stone and the porcelain. To be able to circumvent the "pin weir" it is necessary to cross the lock of Chisseaux, the difference in level of water is about 80 cm.

Bonjour Saïd,
Thanks for informative note concerning this small river, the barrage make you picture very interesting, excellent perspective, very dangerous for the man on the landing stage, the green environment is a nice contrast against the blue sky.
Very well done!
Amicalement,
John.

J'aime bien celle-ci aussi, très instructive, 80 cm de dénivellé, c'est très peu. Et effectivement l'écluse a l'air très petite...
Y a-t'il un préposé en permanence pour manoeuvrer ou bien est-ce un des passagers qui doit s'en charger, comme à certains endroits en bourgogne?
Au niveau technique, c'est parfait, bien sûr!
Bravo Didi.

A nice and informative scene, Didi, well portrayed in the bright summer sun. I like the range of lush green tones present in the surrounding trees, and the interesting details of this embankment.

Bonsoir Didi,
Well composed picture with very pleasing colours and overall mood. It seems to be a bit blurred -- I guess it is cropped from larger photo. Interesting note too.
Thanks,
Marek

Bonjour !
Un cadrage semi-panoramique bien adapté à cette vue superbement éclairée. Les couleurs sont printannières à souhait et il est intéressant de découvrir l'endroit.
Merci du partage !
