Navicarte

Up Sailing La Rochelle Directing Actor PROUT OWNERS ASSOCIATION Links Contact Sailing info la Rochelle

Navicarte 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

'Navicarte #21 - chart of all French navigable waters,'

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

Navicarte maps/charts

 

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.

 

The same 6 'Navicartes' 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, PayPal, Personal UK sterling or by electronic transfer from a UK bank to my UK bank. for details............
