I haven't done it but it's been on my list for a long time. The definitive book which you should check out is 'Cruising French Canals and Rivers'. There are also a number of books of people's experiences doing it. I have a couple somewhere I could dig up. The last one I read was of a family in a small cruising sailboat who started in England, came to France and then when completely thru Europe to the Black Sea. My recollection is that the journey on the canals from Calais to Paris was not that interesting. I have another account of a couple in a traditional canal boat who travel from Greece, up thru France, and over to England.
You could do a similar thing on British canals.
I have on my 'to do' list a circular trip on the Erie Canal, Champlain Canal, St. Lawrence River, Lake Ontario, and Oswego Canal.
