Why not do the non-standard and during the trip instead of the car do not rent ... a small ship?
And go to trip in the country. For example, in France.
After all, what does the usual journey look like, to which most tourists got used to?
Flew to the airport. There is either the transfer of the tour operator and further hotel excursions-walk-paid program, or a hotel-beach-beach shuttlefish, or take a car for rental and further go through the objects and attractions, or the third option, but without a car on Rental.
And here is a boat!
Well, what, why not? Almost like the car, only here you have a hotel, and a kitchen, and a vehicle.
2. To participate in this, not quite the usual journey invited us a leading tour operator of river cruises on comfortable boats with independent management - LeBoat company.
Leboat works part of the Tui Group - the world's largest tourist holding and today has the largest fleet in Europe of comfortable river boats, which can be rented for cruises on canals, lakes and rivers of the 9th countries of Europe: France, Germany, England, Ireland , Scotland, Italy, Belgium, Holland, Poland.
We chose France for your journey, or rather her southern part - the Rhone River Delta.
We took our boats in Saint-Gille, where one of the bases Leboat is located. 
3. This comfortable Vision 4 has become our home for 4 days. Fortunately, there are all the conditions for the journey to be light and enjoyable.
By the way, I was very interested to compare these river boats with sailing yachts, on which I travel several times a year. 
4. The main difference from the usual interiors and an internal device sailing Yachts. - The presence of space, the benefit of the layout of such boats it allows.
Along the right side there is a corridor in which the doors of four double cabins come out. 
4. The cabin though small in the area, but significantly exceeds the cabins on sailing yachts.
Beds can be created together and leave separate.
Over the bed a small shelf, in the cabin individual lighting, climate installation, wardrobe for things, socket 220V and its own bathroom 
5. On this boat, four bathrooms with a shower - in each cabin. The toilet is equipped with an electrical cleaning system, not a manual pumping, as it usually happens on sailboats. 
6. Climate System Control Panel 
7. An important point that makes this type of travel interesting for a tourist is that the company allows you to take these boats on an individual control. Those. In fact, as a car for hire - without a driver (captain). Management is pretty simple, a specially trained person holds short briefing and everything can be sent to the path. 
8. Life support system manages a computer. It shows the remains of fresh and technical water in the tanks, the level of charge of batteries, recharging them with a diesel generator, etc. 
9. In front of a very spacious interior with a kitchen. It can quite comfortably accommodate 8 people. From here you can get into the cabins and on the upper deck 
10. The kitchen is equipped with a gas stove, microwave oven, refrigerator. Hello TV with a flat screen and dvd player.
In the lower boxes, all the necessary dishes for cooking and for its reception.

13. The river network in the south of France for the length is probably no less than the car.
In the Middle Ages, Ron and its tributaries were generally the main transport artery of the region.
So, it is not surprising that small river shipping here is so developed. 
14. Along the rivers and canals there are a huge number of towns and villages, thousands of houses are built almost directly on the water, and near each of them Pier for a motor boat. Just like car parking in front of the house. Only on the other side 
15. In addition to rivers, in the Languedoc-Russylon region a huge number of channels connecting rivers, lakes and ponds.
Cruise boats are moving, as a rule, it is through channels.
The fact is that to control the boat on the river, a special skipper license is needed, and there is no tolerance on the channels. So take a rental boat can, in fact, any adult tourist. 
16. The cruise on the river boat is reminded of a leisurely walk or trip by bike.
The boat is moving at a speed of about 10 km / h, which allows you to relax under the thirty and enjoy the views on the sides.
17. On the first day I was surprised that in such embarrassing channels, the boats are completely quietly to the shore.
It turns out that special services are followed by channels - for their depth, cleaning the bottom and shores.
For example, a special tractor removes young shoots of shrubs, which may further become a hindrance to the movement of boats. 
18. Automobile and river traffic. 
19. In the Ron delta, just a huge number of ponds and lakes.
There is even located here biosphere reserve Kamarg, known all over the world (I will visit it literally next week, so wait from there a report) 
20. In many cities, equipped tens of kilometers of marins and berths for thousands of motor boats and boats, both private and cruise 
21. In mid-April, France met us with pleasant spring weather, so it was possible to enjoy the surrounding species in shorts and a T-shirt. 
22. Do not worry, this bike alexcheban.
Not brought with you from Kiev. Etor is one of the options that can be ordered when renting a boat. By the way, the option is very cool, because arriving at the next city, you go walk along it and see the sights. It's one thing when you moor right in the city, like, for example, in, another thing, when it is necessary to get, KK, for an interesting point, to Magelon Abbey 
23. Many local residents Use boats as at home and as a means of movement. 
24. Channels in Eg-Morte 
25. We are not in vain recommended to take binoculars with them and television. Here just a huge number of birds 
26. They are pretty calmly relate to man, so they can be removed pretty at close range 
27. Gray Heron on Hunting 
28. - Beaver, look, beaver! - shouted pets.
- Oh, you, it is ondatra ... 
29. This seagull could almost take a touch when we sailed a few meters from her. True, such a can give. 
30. In addition to birds, there is enough other flying ...
A320 Air Arabia, Gunning from Montpellier 
31. And this comrade has already sailed his ... 
32. What can be seen during the river cruise south of France?
Firstly, beautiful landscapes. In fact, without leaving their home, you can admire and dawn ... 
33. ... and sunset. 
34. Cities. Competently entertaining the route, you can alternate several hours of unhurried walk through the canal with hiking walks on medieval fortresses and towns 
35. In the region there are a lot of wineries, chateau and abbey. 
36. This is an entrance to Magelona Abbey 
37. The only thing that may occur during such a cruise, it is with mooring.
Still, we need certain skills and understanding of the algorithm of action.
But one or two mooring, and everything happens on automation.
Especially when there are three extra horsepower in addition to the engine girlfriend 
38. Well, after the mooring ... it is possible to the restaurant. Or on a private winery on tasting.
But this is a completely different story ...

We invite you to a river walk through Moscow's gateways!The shipping gateway is a hydraulic structure designed to pass vessels in regulated reservoirs, where to maintain the depths necessary for shipping, the river bed, channel, or reservoir is located at different levels separated by dams that do not have the possibilities of passing vessels, but ensuring the necessary sub-project and depths in The boundaries of the entire shipping site.
The gateway consists of a chamber, upper and lower gates, as well as suitable channels and gear walls.
If the motor ship enters the Gateway "on the top" by flow, then after stopping, mooring and closing the upper gates, water from the gateway begins to descend and the motor ship starts to fall in the chamber to the project level. After the end of the gateway, the lower gate opens and the motor ship continues movement. If the vessel moves down "below", against the current, then the gateway chamber on the controversy is filled and the water level rises together with the vessel.
In Moscow, within the features of the city, there are six shipping gateways: 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 of the Moscow channel gateway, as well as a gateway as part of a rawed hydrode on the Yauza River. Until the mid-30s of the twentieth century, a two-chamber gateway was arranged in the lower drainage channel, for this reason one of the embankments in the area is called the gateway.
Some river walks in Moscow include the passage of one or more Moscow channel gateways, sometimes walks on the motor ship in the Moscow region, with the passage of the "Epochomnuna" and Andreevsky gateways, which are members of the Moskvoretsky Slogan System. River walks On Jauze, unfortunately, it is not held.
Gateway No. 7 and 8 - two-chamber, passing the gateway in one gateway chamber, the motor ship then goes to the next and passes the sliding again.
Between 7 and 8, the unique canal is located on a man-made concrete bridge, a lively Volokolamsk highway is laid directly under the channel: cars, buses, trolley buses and trams pass directly under the channel, which goes the motor ship.
After leaving the gateway No. 8, the ship goes to the mosagers-river bed, the stroginian bridge passes and on a good hardening, which is also part of the Moscow channel, goes into a small reservoir - Karamyshevsky spill, which is formed by Karamyshevsky dam, then the path of ships lies in Gateway number 9.
Gateway No. 9, located in Karamshevsky Canal, designed and built, taking into account the expected active passenger shipping within the city and therefore, there is the possibility of sliding small vessels in half the chamber, for this, in the central part of the chamber there are additional sluts. Half the camera takes two times less than the time than the full chamber, due to which the dialing time is reduced twice and 15 minutes. Unfortunately, this option of the 9th gateway has not been used for a long time, additional sluice gates are inoperable and canned, and in fact, when used, it would be possible to get from Strogly to Moscow-City for usually by a passenger motor ship every one hour.
The tenth and eleventh of the Moscow channel gateway are part of the Perervinsky hydraulic dispenser, built in 1935, which also includes a water branch with family spans and the proceeding hydropower plants. The tenth gateway was originally intended for skipping only large vessels, and the eleventh - for the local fleet's gantry and pleasure boats, however since the early 1990s, the eleventh gateway was derived from operation and the sliding of all types of vessels is carried out in the gateway No. 10. For a pleasure fleet, the use of the gateway No. 11 would be preferable, since the sliding in a small gateway would be carried out faster. The gateway of the Perervinsky hydraulic dispenser has the greatest drop of water levels.
There are three largest in the capital. river Port.: North, South and Western, as well as two passenger river stations. The largest of them is the southern port, which is located on the left bank of the Moscow River and is equipped with seventeen arrivals. The northern port is located on the left bank of the Khimki reservoir, and the Northern River Station is located immediately nearby. And the western port is on the right bank of the Moscow River. The South River Station is installed on a debarkarer, which is at the right bank of the Moscow River.
