Critic Reviews

“This book instantly lifted my spirits... The handy size makes this an ideal travel companion, the maps are clear and easy to use, the pictures stunning. The author has known and loved the Canal du Midi for 20 years, and this comes across in the practical guide which only someone with inside knowledge of a region could write... It is not only full of practical advice, it goes one step further, offering suggestions for off-water excursions and sightseeing musts... A lovely little book which you will want to continuously dip in and out of, even after your holiday is over!”
