Canal archive Posted February 5, 2021 #2326 Share Posted February 5, 2021 This might help. The gadgets used for tours on Scenic work as you cruise along and click in when you pass something interesting but sorry cannot remember what was said about the nose I cannot even find it on goggle.

Renmar Posted February 5, 2021 #2327 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Looks a bit like a dock for a ferry. A ferry just for foot passengers of course looking at the size of the walkway. Theo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare notamermaid Posted February 6, 2021 Author #2328 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Yes, that dock. I guess it is for excursion boats. From this angle it looks less like France. More like a typical German fence in the background. But the road sign is not German. notamermaid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare jpalbny Posted February 6, 2021 #2331 Share Posted February 6, 2021 It's just a short distance from the church with the seven stone hares of St. Michael, which was recently posted here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canal archive Posted February 6, 2021 #2336 Share Posted February 6, 2021 It’s one of the most peculiar art installations I’ve ever seen just plonked on the bank of the river like it is but- wait for it ————- at least it’s not running 🏃♀️. so it’s now a wild card.

Rare notamermaid Posted February 6, 2021 Author #2337 Share Posted February 6, 2021 I have looked it up. The nose was a project and is an installation (permanent) by a group of four artists. They took "plaster casts" of 70 noses in Krems and say the nose is a hybrid of two noses they had decided on. The nose is so big that you can walk into it. Depending on the surrounding conditions the nose can smell of flowers and others things and even of "dirty river". As one newspaper put it (in near quote): "it gets regularly flushed through and a good clean when there is flooding". notamermaid 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canal archive Posted February 6, 2021 #2338 Share Posted February 6, 2021 I suppose the flushing through could be referred to as ‘blowing the nose’. I’m so glad I remembered it now. CA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canal archive Posted February 6, 2021 #2340 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Okay try this one river and City please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare notamermaid Posted February 6, 2021 Author #2341 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Wild guess for a complete change: the Meuse river. No idea of city. I think the tower marks the entrance to another body of water, or an area like a marina. The brick and white stone construction makes me think North and West of Cologne, hence Meuse, Netherlands or Belgium. Could be a gauge tower, flag not sure, local or national? notamermaid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I go with Luxemburg (the country), Moselle river. No idea which town. Theo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare notamermaid Posted February 6, 2021 Author #2344 Share Posted February 6, 2021 (edited) A caravan, red brick and flat river banks? Naa, must be the Netherlands or Belgium. Now that you say it, the tower has got an old ornament on the lintel, so more a keep as part of a former castle? Is it the flag of France, looks the wrong way round to me? Edit: Theo we crossed paths, Luxembourg area - good idea. Flag the right one, hmm? notamermaid Edited February 6, 2021 by notamermaid answer to Theo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renmar Posted February 6, 2021 #2345 Share Posted February 6, 2021 If you look closely it is the flag of France that flies on the tower. The flag of Luxembourg is horizontal and this one is vertical. So it could be either river the Meuse (Maas in Dutch) or the Moselle.🤔 Theo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogs4fun Posted February 6, 2021 #2346 Share Posted February 6, 2021 (edited) Is it La tour du Doyenné located in Chalon-sur-Saône? Edited February 6, 2021 by dogs4fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canal archive Posted February 6, 2021 #2347 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Well done dogs4fun, it was where Scenic moored when they cruised from Chalon sur Soane, off you go your turn. Oh how’s your puppy? CA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I correctly recall, we were told that the tower was once part of a cathedral that was demolished. The tower served as the home of the cathedral's cannons dean. The tower was sent to Paris & later returned to Chalon-sur-Saône as a gift to the city courtesy of Jay Gould. Busy little traveling tower. 😏 Edited February 6, 2021 by dogs4fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chalon-sur-Saone - that is quite a way further South than I expected. The brick looks untypical of the area. A tourism website tells me the tower is standing on an island in the Saone. Now, who is lurking in the background who is eager to take another wildcard and show us their photo? Let us guess where you have been along a river. Anyone around who has not posted yet or not for a long time? Beat the regulars to it, I am convinced one of them is getting ready to post already. notamermaid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
