Sometimes navigation restrictions are put in place (flood, sporting events …). Users of the VNF (Voies Navigables de France) network are informed of this via Notices to the Skippers. The notices are issued a few days before the events, or automatically in the event of a flood, for example.
These opinions can be consulted on the VNF website: http://www.vnf.fr/avisbat/RechercheAvisWebAction. do? page = SearchReviews
The area to consult is “Seine in Paris” and “Seine downstream of Paris” (the interface and the opinions are unfortunately not very “user friendly”!)
No worries, however, we receive these notices directly, and if your rental should ever be affected, you will be informed before your rental. The restrictions generally have little impact on boaters and are limited in time.
