2.0 out of 5 stars Through the French Canals, 17 Aug 2003

By	J. Porter "JP" (Southern England) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Not happy with the title of this book, it should be called French canals from Calais to Marseille, or something like that.
The Callais - Marseilles route is covered, a bit skimpily I think, but the other two main waterways of France are barely mentioned at all. Probably because the author has never been there.
If you are looking for a guide to the Normandy - Brittany - Loire Waterways, or the North East Waterways into Belgium and Holland, this is NOT the book to buy.

4.0 out of 5 stars If you read john72364's review, please also read this., 9 Feb 2004

By	A. L. Howell "Alwyn" (UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The review by john72364 does not do this book justice. I can only imagine that he reviewed an earlier publication, or attached his review to the wrong book.

The book covers 33 routes, and as far as I can see covers pretty much every navigable river in France.

I found it especially useful as I am planning to buy a pleasure boat for inland cruising in France. This told me all I wanted to know in terms of a suitable specification for the boat, which waterways had a million and one locks to negotiate, and gave a good indication of how enjoyable different routes might be.

5.0 out of 5 stars A full featured guide to first time travellers., 30 Jan 2002

By	Matthew Phillips - See all my reviews

This review is from: Through the French Canals (Paperback)

I bought this book as I am planning to travel from NorthWest France down through the cannals in France to the Med. This book gave me a clear picture of what to expect, all the places to stop and visit with a compleate map will all the routes that it is possible to take. Well worth buying if you are planning such a trip.
