2014 Season, Introduction

It's definitely Spring in Burgundy, the area is very green. Cherry blossom floats down the river, swan cygnets paddle past the boat and yellow fields of canola cut the landscape. The Luciole is also blossoming in a new coat of paint, moored on her new mooring - underneath the Cathedral, the recently planted grass and plants complete newly developed quay in Auxerre - everyone is in agreement that they have done a very good job - the river front looks great. A few more days to go until the season starts, you can feel the anticipation building within her hull.
