Five years a go my wife and I decided to take our small sail boat through the French canals, reaching the Med. via Paris and the Biscay via Bordeaux. Re-rigged, we proceeded to southern Brittany to cross our earlier track from the UK, achieving a sort of circumnavigation.

Throughout the trip we met and enjoyed many people, experiences and events. The search for strange beasts in Paris; coping with giants on the Rhone; out-facing bloody handed Popes in the South West; encountering heroes of Louis XIV and WW2 were sort of common daily fodder. A theme therefore emerged of Authors Dorothy and the Scarecrow following their own Yellow Brick Road; Dorothy to find herself and the Scarecrow to get some brains and meeting the real-life heroes and villains of this French-style Munchkin-land.
