"A boat, a life". With the help of infra-red headphones, follow the barge in its daily world (three-dimensional scenes, modern audiovisual techniques, giant wall-screens, automata, etc.). See the barges enter and leave the locks. Watch a film explaining the inclined plane. From the top of the tower, enjoy an exceptional panoramic view, with an audio-guide about the "Petites Ardennes" region. Take a relaxing and unforgettable trip to the big lock at Ittre on a comfortable riverboat...On Sunday, cross the inclined plane in a boat and discover this fabulous site thanks to its brand new Visitor Centre: panoramic elevators, glass bridge overlooking the site...
