    I love the French canals, especially the Canal De MIDI, so picturesque and from what I’ve seen mostly lock keepers to help boaters through locks. Thanks for a lovely vlog, I’ve only just found your channel. X

I love a nice cold Chablis..... Or ANY wine really... :-)) No music needed.. sound was just right.... :-)))) xxx

    Hello from the UK
    Thankyou for such a lovely cruise along the rivers in France..
    What lovely scenery you have..
    Ive only travelled once abroad for a holiday with friends to canary island.
    Was not very impressed.
    Give me a boat on a river or canal with lovely scenery anytime.
    I'm hoping to buy a 60ft widebeam in about 8 years time here in uk to enjoy the rivers and canals..
    Best wishes John

    I just am discovering narrowboating as an American! How did you get your boat to FRANCE from England? Or did you buy it there?

    This is one of my plans to bring my Narrowboat to Europe 😊😊

      How does one move a narrow boat across the channel?

      @@jimmineweaser3300 there are two ways! First you can be very brave and sail it over!! Second you can put it on a truck and take it over in a ferry 😊😊 I would love to do the fist way but will actually do the second 😂😂👍🏼

      On an early video it was purchased in France at its home port after being left unused and unloved for several years by the owner who had sadly passed away.

      I have been moored in Auxerre for over a year now and it’s lovely! Would highly recommend, it’s at the junction of the river Yonne and the canal du Nuvernais

    Given that we have 1000 immigrants crossing the channel in rubber dinghy's everyday, I assume crossing the channel in a narrowboat is possible. But is it legal?

    • @velianlodestone1249
      @velianlodestone1249 3 роки тому

      Yes it is; however the crossing is not insurable unless you are insured through the presence of a skipper & over-the-canal shipping. I believe you also need to have VHR.
