About MuséoSeine - Museum of the Norman Seine
MuséoSeine is an award-winning museum dedicated to the history of navigation on the Seine River, opened in 2016 and bearing the prestigious Musée de France label. The museum's centerpiece is 'Le Joble', an authentic 1886 gribane (traditional Seine vessel) and the last surviving example of its kind, which visitors can board and explore including its hold. Through interactive exhibits, the museum tells the story of how humans shaped the Seine's riverbanks from antiquity to the present day, covering topics such as the famous mascaret tidal bore, ferry systems, river pilots, bridge construction, and industrial development along the estuary.

The Seine's mascaret (tidal bore) was once so powerful that it could reach heights of 7 meters and travel upstream at speeds of 25-30 km/h, making it one of Europe's most spectacular natural phenomena. Surfers would actually ride these waves until extensive dredging and dam construction in the 1960s largely eliminated the mascaret, though the museum's exhibits preserve the memory of this remarkable tidal event that shaped local maritime culture for centuries.
