Nestled within the Seine-et-Marne region, this village has inspired artists and writers for centuries with its picturesque scenery and cultural heritage. As you paddle away from its banks, you’re not merely navigating through waters, but through the very heart of French artistic history, preserved and celebrated in this remarkable territory.

For optimal canoeing conditions, aim for late spring through early autumn. The Seine-et-Marne region experiences a temperate climate with mild winters and warm summers, marking this period as ideal for exploring its rivers. Rainfall is evenly distributed throughout the year, with occasional showers, thus making waterproof gear advisable. Preferring the months of May through September can significantly enhance your canoeing experience, courtesy of longer daylight hours and the lush vibrancy of nature along the Loing River.
