While sailing down the river, you can see the house of Pierre Bonnard, the famous painter and a friend of Monet’s, Gaston Gallimard’s home, one of the most influential French publishers of the 20th century, the chateau de la Madeleine, the valley of Longueville; etc. While sailing along the banks planted with white willows, weeping willows or poplars, you merely have to look up in order to see cormorants, herons, gulls, swans and ducks.
