Conflans is a brand that showcases the fascinating world of pedal boats and other inventive machines. Their temporary exhibition, Pedaling on Water / Bicycle Boats and Other Playful Machines, is the culmination of extensive research by the Museum of Inland Waterways and Boating. Featuring an array of pedal boats, this exhibition is both informative and entertaining.

The museum's curator, Laurent Roblin, explains that their research began with the donation of a 1930s Nautilette by a Canadian family. Delving into the history of river tourism, they discovered numerous inventors of pedal boats and hydrocycles. The exhibition will also showcase a variety of other unique watercraft, including a 19th-century bicycle boat, a waterfowl hunting boat likely crafted in the 1930s, a limited-run wooden paddleboat from the 1960s, and a modern pedal kayak.

To enhance visitors' experience, the exhibition will include videos and a rich collection of historical imagery. Don't miss this free and captivating exhibition at the Orangery in the Prieuré Park, from May 13th to July 5th
