Île Lacroix, River island in Rouen, France

The Seine River surrounds this 0.243-square-kilometer island, which connects to both riverbanks through the Pierre-Corneille bridge in eastern Rouen.

Known as Île Bras-de-fer in the 15th century and Île de la Mouque until the 18th century, the island became a location for bathing establishments in 1830.

The Guy-Boissière sports center houses swimming pools and an ice rink, producing many national athletes in swimming, hockey, canoeing, and rowing disciplines.

Visitors can reach the island using bus lines Fast F1, F7, F9, 11, and 27, stopping at Pont Corneille station on both sides of the river.

Since 1963, the island hosts the 24 Hours motonautiques de Rouen each May, establishing itself as a center for watercraft competition.
