Barge shop at Ravieres
The barge moored in the village of ravieres near Montbard was very
well known, called Le Vapeur it would cruise upand down the canals
and rivers of Burgundy selling pottery of all kinds. Owned and operated
by Mr. Déridge, he continued his business for decades, in
fact his brother had a barge of the samenam, but operated in another
region.
He would simply moor in the village, selling his wares for a few
days and then move up the canal to the next village. Although the
barge was a steel hull, the deck was made out of wood and contained
hundreds of ports, plates and other goods, especially those used
in the kitchen.
