Guide to the Canal de la Marne au Rhin (Ouest) (Printed version)

This guide covers the Canal de la Marne au Rhin (Ouest), which runs for 131 kms from the town of Toul, where it joins the canalised River Moselle, to the town of Vitry-le-François, which lies at its junction with the Canal Latéral à la Marne and the Canal Entre Champagne et Bourgogne. Minimum normal depth in the canal is 1.8m and air draft 3.6m.

Details are provided on all the marinas, haltes and other mooring points (even picnic stops) along the waterway, together with information on facilities, shopping and nearby attractions. Each mooring point is illustrated by a colour photo, meaning that the guides are currently the only detailed pictorial reference available for cruising on the French rivers and canals.

This guide is one of a series of 17 full colour guides to moorings on the French inland waterways, produced and edited by Gordon Knight, based on a series of annual cruises along these beautiful inland waterways.

The guide is regularly updated (usually annually) using reports submitted by members of the CA's European Inland Waterways Section (EIWS).

Note that this is the printed version of the guide which is free for CA members to download. The digital version of the guide can be downloaded free for members here.
