Inland Waterways Of France - 8th Edition
By: David Edwards-May
For this eighth edition of Inland Waterways of France David Edwards-May has investigated the many developments that have taken place during the last 10 years, and presents a detailed overview of the extraordinarly diverse system of navigable rivers and canals. With the restoration of historic navigations - both rivers and canals - the system now totals 9000 kilometres, and has become a favourite destination for tens of thousands of boaters from Europe and the rest of the world.
This book will help them to plan their ongoing or future cruises through the waterways. The core network of freight-carrying waterways continues to grow, and the Seine-Nord Europe Canal, to be built in 2012-201 6, is previewed. On these busy 'waterways recreational use is growing alongside the commercial traffic, and there are many places where boats can moor safely. On the other hand, most waterways in the rest of the network are being transferred to local authorities, and administration will be in a state of flux for a transitional period which may last for several years.
This new edition sets out the current state of the network in 320 pages in full colour, with detailed maps of more than 130 key sites on the network, and overview maps for each waterway. It is a unique blend of practical information, maps, background historical notes and colour photographs.
