With almost 10,000 km of interconnected navigable waterways, France & Belgium offer a stunning variety of cruising areas. From the wide open plains in the north, via the majestic rivers and deep valleys through mountain ranges to the vineyard fringed banks of the Canal du Midi in the south a route can be taken through the heart of France, visiting important cities and historic towns along the way. Since 1975 the Cruising Association has published this guide as a supplement to the commercial guides which are infrequently reprinted. It is a co-operative and voluntary venture, relying on input from its many cruising members who report their discoveries and report their experiences. This 17th edition has been thoroughly revised and updated. The variety of cruising is reflected by many new photographs. There are many new maps and much fresh information including the availability of fuel, chandlery, repairs with telephone numbers and websites and a comprehensive list of sources of further information.

There has not been a guide in English to the Inland Waterways of Belgium since E E Benest's handbook went out of print in the early 1960's. Jacqueline Jones' new guide provides detailed coverage for anyone interested in this under-rated waterway network. It is a fascinating cruising area in it's own right, with contrasting canals and navigable rivers that thread their way across both the lowlands of Flanders and the massif of the Ardennes. The Belgian waterways link Northern France with the Netherlands and Germany and this work will be essential for boats crossing borders. Jacqueline Jones's new waterway-by-waterway guide provides all the essential information for navigation, as well as details about things to do and places to see in Belgium's historic cities. Fully illustrated with clear maps and the author's photography, this book is a must for anyone cruising Belgium or en-route to the French or Dutch canals. This book comes with a folded map of the Belgian Waterways System.

A guide for planning travels along the inland waterways of Belgium at the helm of a private canal cruiser, barge or rental boat. It not only shows where a traveler can go but also why you might want to go there, and gives details for use in planning an itinerary. Also useful for bicycling, walking or car travel following the many waterway routes of Belgium.The two regions of Belgium, the flatland canals of Flanders along the English Channel and the hills & rivers of Wallonie in the south, are connected in a dense network of recently improved waterways. There are many good `havens' (marinas) available, managed by boat/yacht clubs, commercial operators or towns/cities. The country is a lot less crowded than Southern France or Northern Holland in the summer. The major waterways often serve industrial areas, thus they are busy with commercial barges and may pass through unpleasant environments. But the smaller, short-cut or dead-end canals and rivers shouldn't be overlooked, and they are included in this book. 1,578 kilometers of waterways are currently active. Although a few canals are dead-end, all 52 waterways are connected in a single network that can be accessed by any cruising vessel.This guide has been written to help those boaters that are "just passing through" but also to encourage pleasure cruising in Belgium, to find and enjoy a country that is rich in history, art, excellent museums, fine restaurants and friendly people in cosy, welcoming local bars. Some live-aboards have found that this is a great country in which to moor for extended periods; just find the spots that you enjoy!

Several hundred boats use the French inland waterways each year as a route between Northern Europe and the Mediterranean. While there are challenges to be overcome, for yachts of moderate draught (under 1.8m) and able to unship their masts to reduce air draught to a maximum of 3.5m, the inland routes offer not only a convenient way to avoid the perils of the outside passage via Biscay and the Atlantic but a unique opportunity to sample the attractions of French landscape, history, food and culture. This guide, produced by the European Inland Waterways Section (EIWS) of the Cruising Association, includes details of all the main access points to the waterways from seaward as well as the preparations necessary for travelling on them. It covers the four principal routes by which vessels can reach the Mediterranean, together with information on boat preparation; recommended equipment; licences and regulations; navigation; practical aspects of boat handling and managing locks; moorings and nearby facilities and sources of further information. The contents are regularly updated by Cruising Association (CA) members actively cruising the French waterways.

Several hundred boat owners take to the inland waterways of Europe every year, either for a change of cruising ground, a shortcut to the Med or Baltic or simply as a retreat from the rigours of sea sailing with advancing years. However, sources of information are scarce to answer such key questions as What's it like? Where are the best places? Do you need qualifications? Are there rules and regulations? What sort of boat is suitable? What preparations are required? Where can I go for maps and guides and further information? This new guide is designed to provide all the information needed to embark on the continental inland waterways. Written by members of the Cruising Association's European Inland Waterways Section (EIWS) and edited by Gordon Knight, the guide is aimed at both yacht and motor boat owners and includes advice on choosing or adapting a boat; the qualifications needed; preparing a boat to tackle the rivers, canals and locks; navigating safely; obtaining supplies and coping with communications and transport. Separate chapters on the four main cruising countries - France, Belgium, Germany and The Netherlands - describe the principal inland cruising routes and their attractions and list numerous additional sources of information from official bodies and tourist organisations, plus useful free apps to supplement them. Finally, it provides a brief taster of the attractions to be discovered further afield in countries such as Poland, Sweden and Norway. It also includes a 20 per cent discount offer on first year's membership for purchasers joining the CA online during the year.
