I don't really know any of the places in France so a bot more background information would have made it more enjoyable. You visit the France nobody knows – the backwaters of Flanders, the canals beneath Paris, the heavenly Yonne, the lost Burgundy Canal, the islands of the Saône, and the forbidden ways to the Mediterranean. Learning about the remnants of physical damage and psychological pain from WWII are something I had not give much thought to. If you are interested in canal/boating life as well as a bit of a voyage - and/or you are interested in th culture of France - I think this book is for you. His voyage is illustrated by a succession of little vignettes of a paragraph or two, and the intervening time and place passes un-noted.
