Hi!
I’m Nenesse. Nénesse Cargo, Burgundy escargot (which as I’m sure you know, is French for snail), and high-powered private eye. I don’t usually go on about the various adventures I experience, but this one really takes the biscuit.
My temperament is pretty ordinary really, more or less like that of a good child. Placid, nice, the type to avoid trouble if possible. You can ask Marcel Coypu who lives on the bank what he thinks. We’re quite like each other in some ways, him and me. Well, I win as far as purity of line goes, because Marcel is so hairy that he must have lost his razor some time in the last century, but one has to admit that his moustache suits him, and the girls love it….

Anyway I was resting after my last investigation, which was a bit too lively for my taste, when they arrived. Four people, typical holidaymakers if you know what I mean, sports clothes, bikes, luggage etc…and they began to unpack in the middle of the office. In “my” office. Well, my latest office that I had so much trouble finding.
It’s well situated right opposite St. Thibault church which was finished in 1529, the year before the terrible fire which ravaged the city. A view to die for, for an office. Even better, it’s marvellously positioned on a Locaboat pénichette at their Joigny base amongst other boats just as well-equipped as this one, and all available to drive without a permit.

How do I describe it without sounding pretentious…a luxurious interior all in wood, two cabins, one at the front where I put my papers, the other at the back, perfect for periods of inactivity. And in my line of business, inactivity does occur. It really fits the bill in the matter of a floating office for a detective like me – a sort of second shell. Also this penichette is called “Vénarey”, a name which evokes Alésia, the first Burgundian city to be mentioned in history books, which is situated nearby.

Well… just visit ! You only have to click on the thumbnails to enlarge the pictures.
