EDITIONS DU BREIL

EDB for the intimate. It is the publisher of the inland waterway maps of France. It publishes a collection of guides and maps on French waterways. These river guides are mainly intended for boaters but also serve cyclists and hikers who go to explore waterways. The maps you will find in these works have been carried out by specialists, who have optimised the work, taking into account the format and space allocated for each section. However, they cannot compete with the more detailed navigation card publishers that specify topography and geography. If you want a general map that gives you waterways across the territory, you need to get the IGN map of river tourism in France, carried out jointly by the National Geographic Institute, a specialist in French territory (all hikers of small and large paths know the "land maps" of IGN), Waterways of France and AFIT, the French Agency of Tourism Engineering. You will find the 8,500 km of waterways on a single map, with much basic information, addresses and pipes in one document. In addition to the technical information (marina, boating ramps, contact details), you will also find some tourist details. You can also purchase it by mail on www.carte-fluviale.com. It is available in three languages (English, French, German).
