Lumes to Chateau Regnault

25 kms, 5 locks, 3.5 hours

Hot last night, 18C at 11pm, but thank goodness it cooled down overnight.  Today dawned bright and sunny but by mid-morning it was overcast and showery.  We are travelling through the Ardennes forest region, beautiful.

Flood levels marked on a pole at a lock.  The earliest dates from  1391, then 1933 and 1955.  Way over the level of the lock.
