Some days we would get lunch at a restaurant in a village.
A large salad, garlic bread, small sandwiches.
You can get great meals anywhere in France. Here is a cafe with a menu routier — basically "meals for truckers", or a truck stop.
The board on the wall (unreadable in this smaller version) lists the 12€ menu (that is, fixed meal):
Yes, that's the French truck stop menu!
It's your boat and your schedule. You can stop wherever you want to tie up and have a wine and cheese break.
Sometimes we just sat on the upper deck.
Sometimes we were more ambitious and moved the lawn furniture down to the bank.
Of course there are grocery stores all along the way — the people who live in those villages have to eat, too. So we would stock up as needed along the way. And even the one-Euro-per-liter wine is good.
