Type: Harbour

Public river quay on the left bank of the Seine at Muids, in the Eure department, between Les Andelys and Pont-de-l'Arche.

Guide

Approach and anchoring

Approach on the Seine between PK 180 and PK 181 downstream of Poses lock. Commercial barge traffic is active, keep to the right of the channel and listen on VHF 10. The river here is non-tidal, controlled by the dam and lock at Amfreville-Poses downstream. The quay sits off the main channel, so wash from passing barges stays fairly limited.

Practical

Short stone quay best for small boats, with a rubbish bin but no water or electricity. It is quiet enough for an overnight stop. Nearest yard facilities and berths are at Venables, about 0.3 NM south, and Port Saint-Martin-la-Garenne further upstream.

Ashore

Muids is a village of roughly 700 inhabitants. Small grocer and bakery in the village centre, about 400 m from the quay. Viewpoint over the Seine meander from the hamlet of Connelles on the opposite bank. Les Andelys and Chateau Gaillard, the fortress built by Richard the Lionheart in 1196-1198, are 9 km upstream by road.
