Derek Bowskill


Derek Bowskill's lively commentary to the river Seine is both a comprehensive guide as well as source of all the essential 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, the Canal de l'Ourcq and L'Oise. Throughout, the narrative is illustrated with clear maps that indicate key places and there is a comprehensive directory of technical information at the end of the book. Bowskill's work is an excellent companion not only for the trip to Paris but also to the Mediterranean. Contents: Preface; Getting there; The River Seine from sea to source; General
