The small village of Ravières lies on the left side of the
canal as you cruise upstream. There is a small supermarket, which
will be very useful if you've cruised down stream as this is the
most important shop available since Pouilly en Auxois.
Below, a postcard of the once famous "Pottery barge",
moored in the village of Ravières, the owner would cruise
from village to village selling plates, bowls, jugs etc. The boat
was called "Le Vapour" and the owner Marcel Drigard. There
is a story that there were actually two such barges. One very similar
and owned by the son of Drigard.
