This guide covers the River Marne, which flows from its source in the Langres plateau close to the town of Balesmes for 514 kms until it joins the River Seine at Charenton-le-Pont on the southern outskirts of Par-is. It is only navigable for 178 kms of its length, from the town of Épernay until the confluence with the Seine.
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 guide is the only detailed pictorial reference available for cruising on this waterway.
The guide is available for purchase in printed or digital format (PDF, which members can download for free from the members' EIWS web page). Reports on all the moorings are also included on CAptain's Mate, the CA's proprietary app, enabling them to be regularly updated by CA members posting online reports using the app.
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.
