Pontoon

Guide

Approach and anchoring

Navigation follows the VNF buoyage on the Oise between PK 56 and PK 58. The bottom is mud but dropping the hook is not allowed, the fairway must stay clear for the commercial traffic on this section of the Seine-Nord axis. There is a pontoon where boats can lie overnight in about 2 metres, but the decking is in poor condition and some planks are rotten, so take care stepping across it.

Practical

Facilities here are limited to the pontoon itself. For water and visitor berths, Port de l'Isle-Adam lies 3 NM SW or the pontoon at Boran-sur-Oise 3.3 NM NE, both set up for river cruisers.

Ashore

A prize-winning bakery stands about 50 metres from the pontoon. The grassy riverbank beside the mooring is a public spot where townsfolk gather in the evening.

History

The town grew around the medieval Saint-Laurent church and a bridge over the Oise first recorded in the 12th century, a crossing point on the route from Paris to Beauvais and Amiens.
