Geocache Description:

Bienvenue a Saulon-la-Rue! (french - english)

Une petite vite a Saulon La Rue, patelin d'origine de ma Manu.

La cache est placee pres de la riviere Sans Fond, ralongee il y a pres de 900 ans par les moines de Citeaux, qui manquaient d'eau courante a leur abbaye. Elle se jette presentement dans la Vouge, alors qu'a ses debuts, elle allait rejoindre la Vareaude, une addition de plus de 7.5 km a la Sans Fond.

Precision a l'installation : 3.1 m apres 180 lectures
-----

An easy one located in my girlfriend's hometown. The treasure is hidden close to the "Sans Fond" (loosely translated as "bottomless") river.

This river was partly dug up more than 900 years ago by the nearby monks of the Abbey of Citeaux, who were lacking year-round running water. While the "Sans Fond" was originally reaching the Vareaude river, the monks, working more than 100 years, made it reach the Vouge river, adding almost 8 km to the large stream.

Installation precision: 3.1 m after 180 readings.
