Seventeen swans swim in the Saône and a stripling aussi

My rentré to work today and a lunchtime riverside stroll with a colleague produced a couple of surprises.

A bank of swans on the Saône – 17 of them in fact. Dix-sept cygnes.

And then a teenager – not quite dix-sept ans – but jumping off the underside of the bridge and swimming to the side.

He told us it wasn’t too cold.
