Bonjour de Paris! Flew here on Monday from Ukraine’s beautiful capital. Staying at a friend’s house while she is visiting family in the US. Yesterday we went to Conflans-Sainte-Honorine. There is a community of retired barge owners and workers, and the boarding school for the children of same, still in operation. There are lovely views of the Seine as well as some neat old buildings. Barges continue to operate on the Seine and other rivers of France.

Wow, a village of retired boat owners! Who knew there could even be such places. Perhaps you and Peg will retire to just such a place one day???
I think it is reserved for those who have worked the barges. Aside from that it is a small town so not much to do and we are talking cold winters.
