Melun to St Mammes

Seine gets really beautiful. The locks were all easy - no more than 2M up and all with smooth vertical concrete sides with intermediate bollards set into the walls.
No incidents - and STILL NO FUEL until we finally rounded the bend at St Mammes and there it was! Camping Gaz too. We spent €330 on diesel, an extra 22L fuel can, t bottles of Gaz and some gloves.
I'll post pictures later.
