This is the story of a trip from England to the south of France via the French canals. It deals with day to day living as the couple, Brenda & John Davison, make their journey, often in company with other boats that they meet along the way. The book has a simple charm as it deals with their adventures in locks, encounters with the locals, what they did well and what they did badly. The whole trip was a positive experience, as they overcame preconceptions regarding the French, and built confidence in themselves and their craft. The book is a re-publication of Brenda's earlier version with an additional chapter describing their return journey 4 years later and changes they found. It also includes new photographs. Floating Through France is definately worth buying if you are contemplating a similar journey. It is not a pilot book but may save you a few blunders along the way, and provide you with a delightful read.
