A little gem to discover on the Iles des Impressionistes at Chatou: the workshops of the Sequana association !
Sequana restores and sometimes buids replicas of the boats used during the boating era: yoles, 'périssoires' (a type of dinghy), canoes and sailing boats. The association also does historical research and takes part in various nautical events and festivals.
