“ Watersteps Through France” is a look at France through the eyes of two seasoned travellers as they make their way through the country’s canals & rivers, ready to take a fresh view of the unexpected. When Bill & Laurel Cooper decided to spend the winter in the South of France, they took they seaworthy (but half finished) Dutch barge ‘ Hosanna’. Climbing the watersteps of the Massif Central, they passed through some out-of-the-way places, made a wonderful variety of friends, & had a great many adventures before they arrived in time for Christmas in the peace & warmth of the Camargue._‘ Watersteps Through France brims with wit & elegance & the utter pleasure of their trip.’_ * The Observer*
