The love story between Thuin and inland water transport is old and long. At the start of the 20e century, Thuin had some 1100 boatmen as heads of family on a population of 5000 inhabitants. We offer you an opportunity to come and visit the fascinating world of inland water transport. Discover on board of our barge-museum the life of the boatmen in Thuin, scale models, documents from events during the war...
