About

Dear visitor, The town of Conflans Sainte Honorine is proud to present the “Musée de la Batellerie et des Voies Navigables” (Inland Water Transport and Navigable Waterways Museum), a museum that not only shows you the history of inland navigation but also the importance of its future. In 1965 thanks to Louise Weiss, first dean of the European Parliament, the museum opened its doors and since then both the castle and the museum of Conflans have been completely restored. Just a few steps away from the Seine, you will find a collection of very rare objects about the work and life of the bargees. For 160 years Conflans Sainte Honorine has been the capital of inland navigation, and as citizens of this town we are proud of this title and through this museum, we try to maintain the heritage of bargees alive and at the same time showing the existing inland navigation.Enjoy your visit full of interesting discoveries.
