And based on other videos I have watched on Raphael’s YouTube Channel they also have access to a Natatorium for winter steaming.

Bonjour Charlie,
Thank you to watch my French videos  ;) and you are right, once a year, a few swimming pools let us play with our steamers, but we are not allowed to be pulled.

Here is Meaux (also lnown for its famous mustard):


Here is Alfortville (by night !):


Also perfect fo my low Mississipi boats :


At Nanterre:

I didn't know those boats could be powerful enough to pull a raft! Amazing!

Bonjour,
I have made more than 1 600 videos (!) on my passion these 12 last years, so I hope you will find interest in several of them  ;)

In fact, pulling is not so difficult, a horse was able to pull a 100 tons barge. Besides this, steam offers lots of possibilities to explore.   

Another part of my passion, speed (8 bar / 120 PSI max allowed):


With another compound, I reached almots ... 10 km/h but I was beaten by a boat going at ... 10 km/h and anoter at 12 km/h  >:(


There are also improbable boats, such as this trawler transformed into steam(I have to install the whistle I bought for her):


Or technical experiences like this two gear boxes tug boat which will also be able to pull me:


Bons visionnages.
