Cité des bateliers, Maritime heritage museum in Longueil-Annel, France.
The Cité des Bateliers exhibits displays maritime artifacts, navigation equipment, and historical boats along the Oise River lateral canal in northern France.
The museum, established in 2000, documents the industrial development of river transport following the construction of the Oise lateral canal between 1826 and 1831.
Former mariners share their experiences through audio recordings, preserving the knowledge of generations who shaped regional maritime transportation.
The museum welcomes visitors from April to October, offering guided tours in French, access to a Freycinet barge from 1936, and river cruises.
Visitors can explore an authentic red brick house that functioned as both a residence and shop, revealing the daily operations of maritime commerce.
