114. How far is it ?

This is a sign-board for the people who are coming from far away with their boats on the river. On it you can see all what they can do or have or buy in each town where there is a nautic base in the aera. And how far it is to the next nautic base. You can read here that there is a river harbour in Berlaimont. It is 4 km away (with the curves of the river), and on the other side in Boussières-sur-Sambre 10 km away (by road it is only four or five kms). There you can only drink a cup of coffee.

To-day I went to the department Aisne (Picardie) to hear a baroc music concert. Before I went home I made a project that I had since a few weeks. To look how many kms there is from the department North to the department Ardennes. The place where we went in the Aisne was only 11 kms away from the department Ardennes (Region Champagne-Ardennes). In this department you can find some mountains until 500 meters high (or 600?). To the border of the North to the border of the Ardennes there are only 27 km to drive through a little part of the Aisne. It is not very far. From the border between Aisnes and Ardennes (it means from the border from the North-East of Picadie to the border of the North-West of Champagne, to here in Pont-sur-Sambre, there are only 62km. Also is Pont-sur-Sambre is nearer to the overnext region Champagne-Ardennes) as to the capital of our region North-Pas de Calais !!!! Lille is 100 km in the North-East of here, and I think 85 km far from Fourmies and Anor, the towns which are the most in the South-East of the North.

112. Tell me the town... Raconte-moi la Ville.

Tell me the town four times... I don't know why but this picture of a sign-board in Pont-sur-Sambre which stands near the Nautic Base came in four times although I tried only two times to send it.It is a sign-board of the river navy of France (voies navigables françaises) to explain the people which are coming out of their boats what is to do or to see in the town, where they can buy something to eat and drink and so on...Here you see how Pont-sur-Sambre is lying in a meander (curve) of the Sambre. On this picture you can see two of the three bridges, but one can see it better on the next picture.

The virtual travel of Perle-de-Rosée

From Tokyo I'm sailing on my virtual boat to the North Isle of Japan, where I'm finding Midnitebara with her blog of the daily photos from the town of Akita : Akita Daily Photo.

111. What's this ?

The people of Pont-sur-Sambre when they are making sometimes a little walk to the nautic base of Pont know what it is, although these stairs which was created some fifteen years ago are not employed. I let you no longer wait... It is an open air amphitheater. In the front of it there is something which could be a little stage, but it has already a bad aspect and it is no more used. So that it would be good to renove it to play little pieces or sing in open air.
