Going South in France

[Duchess]

Hi everybody,

New to this with this being my first posting. What I'm after is as much info on where I can get the best info on the Rivers and canals south of Lyon in France, as I am taking my husband cruising this summer, though he doen't know it yet.

Thanks in anticipation

You have chosen rather a large chunk - amounts to about x3 the total UK waterways.

Thank you Charles. Have also come across a book for sale via the shopping link here that sounds as though it covers most of it.

Hi Duchess

Welcome to the madhouse.

Doing similar myself. The book you need is "Inland waterways of France" by David Edwards-May - published by Imray.

It has everything you need. Best of luck
