Things to Do  

Boating on the Marne

Boating on the Marne, Lagny

 tiabunna Says:  When I was small, I read “The Wind in the Willows” – maybe you did too. If you did, you’ll probably remember Ratty telling Mole about his love of boats: "There is nothing - absolutely nothing - half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats." I’m unsure quite how... 

Meander past the Marne

Meander past the Marne, Lagny

 tiabunna Says:  After an enjoyable lunch “en famille” with our friends, a quiet stroll seemed an ideal way to pass the afternoon. Should you find yourselves in Lagny on a pleasant spring day, there can be fewer more relaxing ways to pass the time! Head upstream from the town along the Quai...

Getting there was half the fun!

Getting there was half the  fun!, Lagny

 tiabunna Says:  We had made arrangements with our friends that we would meet them at a certain time at the Lagny railway station. No problems, we were told, catch the train at the Gare d’Est to Meaux, stopping at Chelles, Verres and Lagny: the trains run to a half hour frequency. So,... 

Sports & Outdoors  

Fancy going fishing?

Fancy going fishing?, Lagny

 tiabunna Says:  Right alongside the town of Lagny, near this launching ramp, seems a popular fishing spot. I must admit I didn’t actually see anyone catch a fish, but I’ve always suspected that much of the appeal of fishing is in just watching the water flow by! Then again, those swans... 

Row, row, row your boat…!

Row, row, row your boat…!, Lagny

 tiabunna Says:  The two young ladies in my heading photo were just heading out for a training session as we passed the clubhouse of the Nautical Society of Lagny. Now, don’t imagine that “Nautical” is also about sailing, the “Aviron” sign on the clubhouse (photo 2) tells you that this is...

Lagny houses

Lagny houses, Lagny

 tiabunna Says:  I may be wrong, because we didn’t tour the streets of Lagny extensively, but it reminded me a little of small towns in Surrey in England. Most houses seemed fairly substantial, with many dating from the 19th century or earlier (main photo). There also were some which I’d put... 

One of Lagny’s Main Streets

One of Lagny’s Main Streets, Lagny

 tiabunna Says:  Every town needs at least one main street – The “Rue du Chemin de Fer” is one of Lagny’s. Doesn’t it look intriguing? I rather would have liked to have the time to wander up this pedestrianised street and explore among the old buildings, but as we were running late (see the... 

Old fortification ruins

Old fortification ruins, Lagny

 tiabunna Says:  Long, long ago in the dark ages, an Irish monk by the name of St Fursy began the old Abbey of Saint-Pierre in what became Lagny. It was destroyed by wandering Normans and rebuilt in the 9th Century. Not surprisingly, a fortified entry was added in the 13th Century. With the...

 Some many years ago in Canberra, we became friends with a French couple and their family. We’ve stayed in touch since they returned to France and catch up when visiting each other’s country. Our...
