For a successful canal boat holiday with Locaboat, it’s important to make sure you have the right kind of clothing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Obviously, it all depends on the season and the area where you’re travelling. But whether it’s a summer cruise along the\u00a0Canal du Midi<\/strong>\u00a0or autumn in\u00a0Brittany<\/a>\u00a0or the\u00a0Ardennes<\/strong>, the one accessory you should never forget is a good pair of gloves. If you want to avoid ruining your hands with the ropes when you’re going through a lock, gloves are the essential item in every sailor’s wardrobe!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A pair of comfortable shoes with anti-skid soles is also a must for walking on deck and around the boat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No matter what the season, a windcheater or waterproof jacket is also a good idea in case there’s a sudden shower. Whatever the season, we would also suggest a warm sweater.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In summer, you need swim wear, shorts and light clothing. And don’t forget your beach towels (bathroom towels are provided, of course, as are sheets and blankets).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But even if the temperature is less balmy, don’t forget that all\u00a0Locaboat self-drive boats<\/a>\u00a0are equipped with either central heating or warm air heating : you’ll always be warm enough and you comfort is guaranteed, whatever the weather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In any case, you can always stop off in one of the little towns or villages along the river or canal, or make a last-minute purchase at the\u00a0Locaboat departure base<\/strong>. These bases generally have a good stock of essential items.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
