The adventures of a raft on the Marne

Antheaume Bohemond Guyonne Samantha Ysoie
The raft, a minimalist design
Will it float? That is the question !!
But children are quietly confident !


Guyonne and Samantha are responsible for the transport of the steering oar


Ysoie supports everyone from his bike

Marne River

525 km (326 miles) long
The river starts in the Langres Plateau, runs generally north then bends west between Saint-Dizier and Châlons en Champagne, joining the Seine at Charenton juste upstream from Paris
In the Champagne region, part of the water is led through the artificial Lake Der-Chantecoq, in order to regulate the water discharge. This way, large inundations or low river levels downstream are prevented.
The river gave its name to 4 "départements" : Haute-Marne, Marne, Seine et Marne, Val de Marne

Unfortunately, the raft sinks!
