On The Water
680 km of waterways, 1100 km of banks for walking or fishing, excursions on and around the water taking you to Belgium and looping you back to France! Travel the rivers, canals and marshes on board passenger boats, by canoe, surf-bike, electric and pleasure boat. Stop whenever you like at the marinas and moorings and discover the rich heritage of our region – just go with the flow.  CRT Nord-pas-de-Calais / Dhote Samuel
