Very true, Cahors is pretty but St. Cirqu Lapopie further east is much more stunning. This was 2013 and the river levels were very low.

The blurb on the web site talks about their modern hire fleet of steel boats, but contains ni information about them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo47 Posted May 18, 2022 Report Share Posted May 18, 2022 Now that we have left the EU, do Brits need any documentation to be able to sail on French canals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats an interesting question but I suspect hire boaters do not. They have always hired to non EU nationals and AFAIK they have not been subject to additional stipulations. Owners how ever may be a whole different ball game though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
