Conflans-Sainte-Honorine: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

Conflans-Sainte-Honorine combines lively inland waterway traditions with historic sites, a river island and walking tours through the old town. The Pardon national de la batellerie takes place every year, generally on the third weekend of June, combining official ceremonies with festive and family events. The Musée de la batellerie et des voies navigables houses collections on inland navigation and waterways.

Culture

The “JACQUES”, a tugboat dating from 1904, is part of the town’s maritime history. In 1997, it was listed as a protected historic monument and is displayed at the Halte Patrimoine together with the “TRITON 25”. The pusher tug “TRITON 25” is located in the Saint-Nicolas harbour at the Halte Patrimoine.

A special attraction is the “Je Sers” chapel boat, a 70-metre-long floating church with a chapel dedicated to Saint Nicholas. The “Je Sers” provides inland boatmen with a place of worship and mutual assistance.

Guided tours for individual visitors are offered at the Halte Patrimoine.
