Grez
Neuville
I
must admit that its hard not to draw a comparison of the canals and
rivers in France and the UK. A few days ago while walking over the
bridge into Grez Neuville to visit the Boulanger (bread shop). We saw
some rubbish piled up near a full skip. (the dustbin men are on
strike) Its unusual to see dumped rubbish or litter in the towns and
villages.
It was
then that we realised - there was a distinct lack of litter floating
in the canals or scattered on the towpath. But it does not end there,
Its the same with the lack of graffiti on bridges and other
structures. However, we did notice that noticeboards are conveniently
provided for 'Bill Stickers' to use.
While walking the
towpath, we saw a little old lady come out of her house on the
waterside. Change the 'dog poo bin liner' for a new one, dump the old
one in a nearby skip before returning back indoors. That's another
thing - its also very noticeable there is no dog shit on the towpaths
either.
We stopped overnight again at
Grez Neuville
