t is fabulous. Plenty of hire companies do one way hires. However for quiet
er canals in the heart of France look at the nivernais canal in burgundy.Pl
enty of hire companies including France afloat=2C le boat=2C nicholls and l
ocaboat=2C all on line=2C hire on several of the canals. Plenty of visitors
from aus and nz as well as loads of Brits on the canals=2C so you are amon
gst friends!

time of the year it should be the right time to get about. We might head do
wn as far as Barcelona or simply tick the French box=2C including the Med.
