Where does one find out about air draft for the bridges between Le Havre and Paris Arsenal?

The "Navicarte Guide De Navigation Fluviale La Seine aval du Havre a Paris" doesn't help.

I have not done this and am not an expert. However, a Norwegian chap I met last year had to tie up twixt Honfleur & Rouen because he got it wrong - he believed that it was necessary to punch the ebb for the last hour/hour and a half.

Hopefully, someone who has made the trip will give first hand experience.

I did the trip last summer in June and I have an air draft of 5 metres. No problems apart from entry into Arsenal marina, made it with a few centimetres spare! There is normally plenty of headroom on the Seine bridges. What is the airdraft on your Fleming, I know a Fleming has been to the marina in the past. A bigger problem is depth of water at some of the stops.
