Guide

Approach and anchoring

Reached from the navigable Seine between PK 37 and PK 38. The river is busy with commercial barges and the Freycinet gauge applies. Air draught limited by the road and rail bridges downstream of Paris, notably the pont d'Épinay and the pont de Gennevilliers. No tide. VNF manages the channel and the locks upstream at Suresnes and Chatou.

Practical

Pontoons for resident and visiting pleasure craft with water and electricity. No fuel berth on site. All shops of Villeneuve-la-Garenne within 500 m, including supermarket and bakery. RER C station Les Grésillons is 1 km away and reaches central Paris in about 25 minutes.

Ashore

Parc des Chanteraines, a 80 ha regional park with a small lake and footpaths, sits directly opposite on the Gennevilliers bank and is reached by the pont de Villeneuve-la-Garenne in 800 m. The Île Saint-Denis nature area extends along the left bank with a 7 km walking and cycling path.

History

The port is named after the Impressionist painter Alfred Sisley, who painted the Seine and its bridges at Villeneuve-la-Garenne in 1872, including the canvas Le Pont de Villeneuve-la-Garenne now held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
