The AMACello stayed docked overnight in Macon. We decided to skip the morning tour and instead walked into Macon for a little sightseeing and shopping on our own. The docking location was very near the center of Macon so this was quite easy.

Saint Pierre Church
After shopping, we stopped by a cafe for our morning cappuccino and headed back toward the ship along the riverfront.

Once aboard, we had lunch followed by a wine tasting and lecture. The wines on this cruise were spectacular and there was something for most everyone’s taste in wine. We also had an opportunity to visit the wheelhouse after we left Macon while cruising toward Chalon-sur-Saone. We learned about the navigation and how close to the low bridges we came as we entered the rain swollen Saone River.

We arrived in Chalon-sur-Saone during an excellent dinner. The food has been wonderful and a great complement to the wine.

After we arrived at Chalon and docked, a local band came aboard to entertain us. The were great to listen to and a lot of people got up and danced. We stay overnight in Chalon.
