1 Aquitaine Boating Holidays and canal trips in Aquitaine The scenery in the south of France has inspired artists for centuries. The slopes with vines and formidable plantations of plums face the rivers - and the luxurious foie gras, truffles and wild mushrooms and especially Bordeaux red wines, are a selection of the region's many gastronomical specialties. On the Garonne-canal - sail from adorable Le Mas D agenais through the wine village of Buzet through Romanesque arches to Agen. See the abbey in Moissac and head for Montech, which in turn opens up for sailing on the river Tarn and up to Montauban. On the river Baise and the lower part of the river Lot will find enchanting scenery and medieval market places, paper mills, impressive moorish castles and charming cities known as bastide fortress-citiesvianne, Nérac, Condom and Villeneuve are a few prime examples of these.

2 Cruising advice Sail from 4 bases - return or one-way. Depending on the water level of the river Garonne, it may be possible to cross over the River Lot, only with a pilot and charges are applicable. During periods of high or low water levels in rivers can sail area to be delimited. The area is good for both Canal and river navigation. Highlights and local attractions Discover the ancient cities and medieval market squares and unique chateaux which are scattered around the landscapes, that are adorned planted with sunflowers, corn and vines. Ancient cities on the hills with stunning panoramic views Beautiful medieval towns with cobbled streets and half-timbered houses Moissac's famous monastery Boatelevator near Montech - a must to experience World famous wines such as Margaux, St. Etienne, Graves and Medoc Colourful local markets of foie gras and truffles. Adorable little towns with cobbled alleyways. Romantic walks along the river Gastronomic delights for connoisseurs. Arts and culture-rich region Bordeaux wines such as Medoc, St. Emilion, etc.

3 Inspiration for boating vacations in Aquitaine On a trip on the rivers and canal in Aquitaine you can taste the region's specialties froi gras, truffles and wild mushrooms. Enjoy a cultural voyage along the Tarn river and adjacent canals, visit the ancient bastide towns located along the routes. Enjoy old architecture and famous monasteries from the 14th century. Here you see colorful regional markets and stunning views of the rivers and canals - you can sail through the vineyards to the cities which are famous for their wines, cities with beautiful glass artwork and many restaurants, interesting shops and galleries. Enjoy a glass of Armagnac - the region's answer to cognac. Sail for example Baise River and visit the towns of Agen, Moissac, Nerac and Vianne - in the middle of one of France's famous gastronomic regions, you will find many good reasons to taste delicious menus and fine local wines at restaurants and cafes along waterways. In short, culture and gastronomy go hand in hand in the sunny region in the southwest of France and both can be enjoyed from the waterways.

12 About River Holidays Boating Holidays and Canal trips in France - Tips Wonderful scenery, charming small towns, tempting markets and local specialties. Enjoy a delicious dinner on board - or visit the city's best restaurant. Stop where it suits you - amidst nature or by an idyllic village. Distances The rivers are the distances marked with PK (points km)- ie that is 1 mile between each PK. The channels are marked distances along the canal in the number m between two points (eg. 3,300 = 3 km and 300 m) Locks There are several different types of locks in France. On the Lot and Charente you ll fnd manual locks that are unmanned, so the crew must themselves operate the locks by hand. In other areas are also unmanned but electronic, which lock the doors either activated from the boat with a 'remote-control' - or by pulling down on a 'rope' which is hanging by a wire across the canal - or at a control console on the banks of the lock. Finally, there locks operated by a lock master. Sluice Taxes are included in the rental price. Some choose to give a little tip - others buy a bit of lock master's home-grown products such as vegetables, eggs, honey or wine. Be aware that it is the lock master's responsibility to operate the locks - NOT to assist you with boat and ropes! The gates are normally closed between 12:00 to 13:00. In addition, the locks will be closed on fixed holidays such as Easter Sunday, Pentecost Sunday and the 1st May and the French National Day 14 July. See also special section on the opening hours of the channel map book - and ask at the base. "Barages" (= dams) Along the way, the river card could see the so-called "barages" damming (the French word), and in English "weirs". This is an artificial small waterfall or further damming of the river on one side - often associated with a lock. They are marked on the map with a heavy black line, designed either partially into the river / canal, or

13 where the river / canal running along with a side river. Keep clear of these, since the water flow here may be somewhat stronger - follow the fairway. Keep some speed on the boat so it does not drift with the current. Should the engine put out so quickly throw an anchor out.

14 accommodation Many small towns have a small jetty with room for a few boats. Here is one good and free. If you want to stay in an actual port or marina, paid approximately per. night - depending on boat size. On the rivers may require a little more patience to find a good place - as there may be too shallow or vegetated along the banks. Think about when the boat is moored in the open, the rope is not tied to a tree or otherwise going to bother cyclists and walkers on the paths along the canals. There must be a clear path for everyone - including the service and emergency assistance can arrive. Shopping BOULANGERIE (baker) BOUCHERIE (butcher) and Epicerie (grocery store) or SUPERMARCHE In addition, several cities have the "Le Cave or" Caveaux ", which is a small wine shop where you can buy wine from the barrel. Our bottles can be filled up with a "vin d'table" (mainly one surprised good 'common drink') - and always at a very reasonable price!! Shops are often open on Saturdays days to and on Sundays at Many have closed Mondays. Generally, there is dinner closure between the hours. 12 to Ask a precaution at the base upon arrival. Most cities - even small ones - has a weekly market, which can be a veritable wonderland for the ship's cook! Fresh vegetables, delicious cheeses, fish, meat and wine can be purchased from local producers. Toilet River water is used to pump the toilet. The system and the environment is sensitive and it is recommended to have a plastic bag for paper and other waste standing at the toilet to avoid clogging.
