Overview

This guide, now in its 27th edition, is firmly established as one of the most thorough and up to date guides to inland waterways cruising in France and Belgium (and Luxembourg). Annually updated each year by Cruising Association (CA) members actively cruising the waterways, it has the advantage that it is very much more detailed and up to date than other published guides. It also indicates what moorings are like, not just their location. In an extensive introduction and detailed information section, it explains the character of the various waterways; the challenges to be overcome; the equipment needed; licences and regulations; sources of further information; 'rules of the road' and many other items of interest to the inland waterways cruiser. It also includes a 25 per cent discount offer on first year's CA membership to purchasers joining online during the year. Members then have free access to the online editions of this guide, which contain hyperlinks to the CA's proprietary CAptain's Mate app enabling users to access the most up-to-date information on routes and mooring locations.
