Purchase options and add-ons

This book will introduce you to the cruising regions, to the boat rental companies and to the basic skills and knowledge you need to safely and confidently head off on your own voyage of discovery through the cultures, histories, foods and wines of France. Throughout France is a vast network of canals and navigable rivers that lead through a wondrous variety of pastoral settings, medieval towns and villages and vibrant cities. Along the way are vestiges of human habitation spanning the millennia from palaeolithic times onward through a complex history of settlement. The occupation and taming of the land followed the courses of the rivers and crossed the low passes that link them to each other. The canals were built to aid commerce here in the seventeenth, eighteenth and nineteenth centuries and much of the original engineering is still in place. The coming of rail and then motorised road transport made them increasingly uneconomical and their use dramatically declined. They are now mostly left to the pleasure cruisers. Following these ancient routes along the peaceful canals and rivers of France is a superb way to experience the heart and soul of the country. This is a dream shared by many, and it is now easily possible with a rental boat.

About the Author

Michael Walsh was born in 1944 on Canada's east coast. After school, he joined the Royal Canadian Air Force, moved to the west coast and trained as a Pilot. During the next two decades, he made a name for himself as an exploratory mountaineer, with over six dozen first ascents on four continents. In the late 1960s, he transferred to the Navy and served as a Navigator and a ship's Captain among other duties. After eighteen years service, he resigned his commission to pursue his wine, writing and boating passions. From the early 1980s through to this century, he was a prominent wine and food educator, columnist and feature writer. He has published four nonfiction books on boating, and he is now venturing into fiction.
