Along the river Seine, in the Val-d'Oise region of France, a boat links Vétheuil, the village that inspired the Impressionists, to the opposite bank in the village of Lavacourt. Come aboard this little boat, which offers you a quick - and free - crossing of the Seine.

Did you know? Crossing the Seine would only take... Two minutes! At least, that's what's on offer in Vétheuil, a pretty village in the Val-d'Oise département, every year in fine weather. We tested this short crossing for you, linking two picturesque villages to the west of Paris, not far from the Normandy countryside.

On one side is Vétheuil (95), a charming little village that inspired Impressionists such as Renoir and Monet... The village is also crossed by the GR 2, a long-distance hiking trail in the Paris region. On the other hand, the Lavacourt district in the village of Moisson, in the Yvelines département. A bucolic, even picturesque district, from which you can easily reach (on foot in 15 minutes) theBoucles de Seine leisure island, known for its large accrobranche (tree climbing) course, or the Moisson golf course.
