Watersteps through France

Watersteps through France

To the Camargue by Canal

Bill and Laurel Cooper

When Bill and Laurel Cooper decided to spend the winter in the South of France, they took their seaworthy but half finished Dutch barge Hosanna by an 'overland' route through the canals and rivers of France. Their route took them from Normandy, through the Somme, Saône and the Rhône, to the Camargue. Along the way, they passed through a number of out-of-the-way places, made a wonderful variety of friends, and had a great many adventures. What they ate, drank, bumped into and avoided; what birds and animals they saw; what cafes they sat outside of; all this is retold with charm and humor.

Here are the French, their folklore, customs, food, and mainly their canals seen through the eyes of two seasoned travellers who are always ready to take a fresh view of the unexpected.
