In Reims, the inhabited barges along the canal, very close to the city center, are over. Owners of barges and boats installed a few hundred meters from Reims Cathedral are preparing to cast off their moorings.

In total, around fifteen “floating houses” around the de Gaulle bridge will be forced to leave their home port before May 26. The project to metamorphose the banks of the Reims canal provides for the installation of a pontoon beach, aquatic gardens and a belvedere by 2025.
