There are walk and bike paths along the entire river through the suburbs, grass and trees, parks and restaurants, sports clubs, boating, locks, bathing, camping and so on. The bridges which crosses the river are often both interesting and historical. The rivers of France still plays a vital role for culture, leisures and business. They are yet important means of transportation through the country and it's interesting to see a large barge sail past heavily loaded with cargo. The house boats are fascinating and a real alternative to the usually steep rents in the Ile-de-France region.

Outside of the suburbs the river becomes the centre for the towns, often with a strong historical touch and plenty of charm and soul. It is not hard to find old city walls, historical bridges, monasteries, old narrow cobblestone streets, warehouses and so on. It is easy to see that the river played an important role throughout all history.
