One of these, the Musée de la batellerie et des voies navigables in Conflans-Sainte-Honorine ( 78), located on the banks of the Seine, is an emblematic site ofFrench river history.

With models, tools, photographs and period documents, the museum takes you back in time to the days when barges and scows reigned supreme on the waterways. It also invites you to discover the trades, traditions and skills that have shaped the history of river navigation in France.
