River Seine Cruising Guide

Derek Bowskill's lively commentary to the River Seine is a comprehensive source of information for navigators on the river from the sea to Paris and beyond to the start of the French inland waterways system.
River Seine Cruising Guide covers the Seine estuary to Paris, the river above Paris and the Canal de l'Ourcq and L'Oise. The narrative is illustrated with clear maps, whilst technical information is covered in a comprehensive directory. Bowskill's work is an excellent companion not only for a trip to Paris but also to the Mediterranean.
