The ninth edition of Inland Waterways of France is the ideal guide
for planning cruises in and through the most fascinating and
diverse waterway network in Europe. This edition takes a new
paperback format, split into three volumes. Author David
Edwards-May presents a detailed overview of the waterways extending
from the English Channel through Northern France, Picardy and Paris
to Central France and Burgundy. This system totals 2700 kilometres
of waterways that are as vibrant as ever, and include the new
Seine-Nord Europe Canal, now under construction, to be completed by
2028. Recreational use is growing alongside the commercial traffic
on the busier waterways, while Champagne, Burgundy and Central
France have become cruising destinations in their own right. This
first volume of the new edition sets out the current state of the
network in 200 pages in full colour, with detailed maps of
junctions and other key sites on the network, overview maps for
each waterway, and route descriptions. It is a unique blend of
practical information, maps, background historical notes and colour
photographs.
The ninth edition of Inland Waterways of France is the ideal guide
for planning cruises in and through the most fascinating and
diverse waterway network in Europe. Author David Edwards-May has
researched the many changes that have taken place during the last
10 years, and presents a detailed overview of the waterways
extending throughout the South ('Midi'), the Southwest and Western
France. This system totals 3000 kilometres of waterways that are
maintained and developed almost exclusively for recreational
navigation. This third volume of the new edition sets out the
current state of the network in 146 pages in full colour, with
detailed maps of junctions and other key sites on the network,
overview maps for each waterway, and route descriptions. It is a
unique blend of practical information, maps, background historical
notes and colour photographs. It also highlights ongoing waterway
restoration projects, in which the author has been personally
involved for many years.
First published in the 1950s under the editorship of EE Benest and
later Konrad Nussbaum, the Imray map of the French inland waterway
system has always been regarded as the essential reference for
planning a visit to France by boat. It is now superseded by this
completely recompiled and redrawn edition by David Edwards-May, the
leading authority on World canals and waterways. The new
cartography includes improved detail and presents essential
information concerning distances and dimensions with a greater
clarity than on previous editions. The map continues to cover the
Low Countries and the western part of Germany and now also includes
large scale insets of the Paris region and northeast France. The
scale remains at 1:1 500 000
The ninth edition of Inland Waterways of France is the ideal guide
for planning cruises in and through the most fascinating and
diverse waterway network in Europe. This edition takes a new
paperback format, split into three volumes. David Edwards-May has
investigated the many developments that have taken place during the
last 10 years and presents a detailed description of the
extraordinarily diverse system of navigable rivers and canals in
France. With the restoration of historic navigations, 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 volume will serve to plan ongoing or future cruises
through the 2500 kilometres of waterways from the northeast - the
cross-border rivers Meuse, Moselle, Sarre and Rhine - to the
Mediterranean. On the busier waterways recreational use is growing
alongside the commercial traffic, but there are many places where
boats can moor safely. Waterways are an important part of the
appeal of France as a tourist destination. This new edition sets
out the current state of the network in 126 pages in full colour,
with detailed maps of 40 key sites, towns and junctions, and
overview maps for each waterway. It is a unique blend of practical
information, descriptions of places, maps, background historical
notes and colour photographs.
