Hi, I've done a week in Britanny as a hirer, and worked on a (38M) peniche in the area south of Paris - the Seine and Yonne up to Auxerre and the canals down to Sancerre. It's a very nice area to do - and I guess less commercial traffic than there was then (1988).

 

It's on our retirement plan (not due for a lot of years yet) to take a year or so to cruise as much of the French system as we can get to, but for now our hols are thing like Disneyland and the beach!

So, its alright to have dead animals,chemicals from farmland, chemicals from boaters, spilt diesel ect, ect, but not human (organic)waste? And, what do you think that a lot, but not all, boaters do in GB?, given that a lot of pump-outs very often, don't work. Yes, we all know that its wrong,in GB anyway, but, it happens.

People are'nt exactly dropping like flies because of it!

Just came across this: http://www.canals.com/french.htm

which should give you plenty of information about boating in France.
