Solution Graphics

Navicarte/Fluviacarte are the canal and river route charts, which detail all the stopping places, locks, fuel points, marinas, port de plaisance and tourist information.

Whilst it would be just possible to do the trip only with my book

'The French Canal Routes to the Mediterranean'

and the 'Fluviacarte #21 - chart of all French navigable waters,'

it would be an awful lot less stressful and more enjoyable, to use the relevant:-

 

 

Fluviacarte maps & charts

All at French prices and lower postage than other UK web sites or shops

 

These are the only publications which provide coverage from the French Ports on the English Channel, all the way down to the Mediterranean and are in ENGLISH, French and German. - (old name 'Navicarte')

Six 'Fluviacarte ' cover both 'Fast' and 'Slow' routes.

 

 for the entire trip from the mouth of the Seine to the Mediterranean in detail.

 

You may order these direct from here and pay via a credit card or PayPal, 

 

Because they are dispatched from France we are able to offer all the 'Fluviacarte'  at the new reduced French prices. 

European postage is normally less than UK to UK. - Delivery about 3/4 working days from receipt of order.
