Along the rivers and canals in the North of France and Belgium
In 1876, Robert Louis Stevenson, accompanied by his friend Walter Simpson, embarked on a canoe trip along canals and rivers from Antwerp to Pontoise. An Inland Voyage was to become his first published book.
To see the barges waiting their turn at a lock affords a fine lesson of how easily the world may be taken. There should be many contented spirits on board, for such a life is both to travel and to stay at home.
Robert Louis Stevenson
