FAQ
 How do I go through a lock ?
This is a simple, pleasant manoeuvre if a few basic guidelines are followed : always take it slowly, with care, and remain patient if there are other boats waiting. Manually operated locks are easier with a minimum of two agile people !

Will I have to pay ?
During your cruise you will have to negotiate a number of locks and bridges. Passage through these is free.
Top
Are all locks automatic ?
Some locks are automatic whilst others are manual, and the lock-keeper may ask you to lend a hand. In the Charente, the locks are operated by the user - thus you are not restricted by timetables.

Restrictions
All waterways are subject to restrictions and possible closure for essential repairs and general maintenance. The dates are normally notified in March and this may make it necessary for us to alter your cruise itinerary or departure port, for which we cannot be held responsible.

High water
Some rivers flood in Springtime. It may be preferable to use the canals instead and we may, in certain cases, ask you to change your departure point. We cannot be held responsible for these cases.
