This is all that was left of the Renault car factory on an island downstream of Paris the last time we passed. Vehicles made here were transported to/from other plants on enormous double-decker barges, but no longer. The cars are being made elsewhere now. and the island will become a "cultural hub", hopefully a good one, whatever that may be.

Lots and lots of 4Ls, if I'm not mistaken. That dates it a bit.

Expectations  of the waterways being crowded with boats  seem to have come to nothing

We both commented on how quiet it was on the river today. Suspect the atrocious weather forecast has put a lot of people off this weekend.
