White Water Massif Central
Rivers Publishing (2002, 160pp. £14.95)
Don't be too put off by the title, this is an inspiring guide to the easy 'family friendly' rivers of southern France including the famous Tarn, the sedate Dordogne, the Herault and the sporty upper Allier where the author spent many years as a canoe guide. The cover is about as hard as it gets and with accurate descriptions of rapids, weirs and glissades (exhilarating weir slides) plus adequate maps, it all adds up to perfect IK touring territory.
It may be due for an update but in my experience nothing's changed much in this lovely part of France. Hop on a Ryanair to Rodez or a Eurostar to Clermont and have yourself a great holiday. Cick the cover for more but don't be put off by Rivers Publishing's Stone Age website, the book is worth every penny.
