Our last day commenced. After a late breakfast, we left Taves around 1 pm and made our way towards Savoyeux. The temperature was climbing and climbing. After we had passed the Écluse n°10 de Soing at around 3:30 pm and realized that we would arrive way to early, we moored next to what looked like a barbecue place with the intention pack our stuff and to start cleaning the boat. Our elan pretty quickly crumbled in the afternoon heat. We had ice cream instead, read a little and dozed off, We set off again around 6 p.m. and arrived in Savoyeux at approximately 7:15 p.m., where the German guys from Hessen — whom we had last encountered in Fouchécourt— had already moored. We packed our stuff and loaded it in the car. Then we cleaned the boat. When everything was ready, I strolled around the harbor for a bit, while Felix disappeared into his cabin to surf the radio-waves via his tablet through the endless fabric of the Internet.
