  It is.  It's quiet.  

  Nice for boating.  Worrying for the long-term existence of the
  waterways.

  I'd assumed it would be quiet, but  then it seems to me that in terms of the 
shift from freight to leisure, the French canals are in some ways in a similar 
situation to ours several decades ago. Presumably leisure traffic will 
increase... a good thing for the prospects of survival, if slightly sad for 
those of us nostalgic for quieter waterways!
