Arriving at Capella in Grez Neuville

After 48 hours in sunny vibrant Paris where Les Parisiennes are very happy to imbibe outdoors, (while we sorted local phones and Wi-Fi, ) we caught train south to Angers, rental car, supermarket , then to lunch at Grez Neuville by the lock as guests of Maryvonne, the recently widowed owner, with her granddaughter Alais as translator, and Alain & wife Morisette who live quayside and are happy to assist us with getting organised. Absolutely superb food at this 5* restaurant. Sorry photos are blurry , very hot and I think camera got foggy. Then to boat nearby - its great, so light and spacious, master cabin heaps of storage. Morisette will show us where to shop today for “everything ! “. Glad I bought our linen and pillows so we could be on board last night. G has opened every hatch already to check things out. Alain will take us down river soon to Pruille to the marina where Maryvonne owns a spot and is happy for us to stay for however long. She bought us a beautiful set of crystal champagne glasses as a welcome gift. Everyone very kind and helpful, but no one speaks English, so we in the deep end learning to parlez Francais. Sure makes you learn fast - Google Translate vital at this stage !Read more
