I have hear that the French authorities won't let you into the inland waterways system at Bordeux if you have too much overhang on your on deck mast. Is this correct or just hearsay?

I've never done the Cnal du Midi, but one thing I did when going from Belgium to the Med via the canals was to lash a 6 foot long piece of wood (2" by 4") accross the bow of my boat wo that it would touch the lock wall before the mast
tip did.
