A must for yachtsmen wishing to use the French inland waterway system...a fascinating read.
highly professional, beautifully-presented
The bible for those wishing to head for the Med
this book covers virtually all you need to know'
This is the 14th edition of a book subtitled 'The complete planning guide for cruising the French waterways' and that's very much what it is: a planning guide. It gives the readers everything they need for the basic planning at a waterway level - locks and their opening times, craft dimensions, VHF channels, boatyards and facilities - plus enough of a description to give a feel for each waterway. And for those new to French waterways there's a lengthy general section covering signage, operation of locks, useful contact details and basic French vocabularies covering what you might need in dealing with boatyards, waterways terminology, food shopping or discussing the weather.
This book lives up to its subtitle, providing excellent information, and route-planning data, making it the right choice for those setting out to plan a first foray into French inland waters.
An excellent overall introduction to these popular and varied waterways, particularly suitable for the first-time visitor or those who have some experience but are looking for new areas to cruise...Where this book really excels is for long distance route planning, with more than 50 routes described and illustrated...This guide, already a bestseller, is surely the first port of call for anyone considering navigating these popular French waterways.
