The lock at Montbard
A wonderful image of barges and people along the canal in the town
of Montbard. When you zoom into the image there are a lot of people
on the bridge and the lock to the right. At first we thought that
it was a change of shift for the workers in the factory which is
in the background. However we noticed that people were very well
dressed and assume that the photo was taken on a Sunday or holiday.
The barges are wooden hulled and appear to be loading or unloading.
The factory still exists today, although it has changed purpose,
has less chimneys, but is still the economic heart of Montbard,
making parts for the TGV trains.
