Up to Paris: an inSeine week?

[BelleSerene]

With the mast down at Le Havre, and a 1.8m draft, where are the best places to stop up the Seine on a week's family cruise to Paris?

From the guide books, it seems that after the 10-hour rush on the tide from Honfleur to the first lock at Rouen, some of the nicer places to stop off for the night or half a day are too shallow-draft for a 1.8m keel.

Any advice from those in the know would be appreciated.

Apologies for the double post: I was advised to seek liveaboard wisdom rather than the Scuttlebutt forum.

Port L'Ilon [Mantes La Jolie] should have the depth.

Unstepping at Rouen is strongly advised (plus the yard that formerly did this at Le Havre has now closed) - you avoid going up the tidal Seine, mast down.

There are a few places where getting alongside with 1.8m draft might be a problem, for example at PK183 Muids, which is a delightful spot, but I can't be sure.
You certainly won't get into PK150 Vernonnet, the mooring for Monet's Garden, I'm afraid, nor PK176 les Andelys, the mooring for Richard the Lionheart's castle.

+1 for Port l'Ilon.Great place to leave a boat, Mantes-le -Jolie nearby used to have an Eurocar depot, useful for Beauvais Airport 50Km away.
It is above Rouen(south of perhaps, river is a bit more than wiggly, seems you go back on yourself a lot.) as regards masts and locks.
Good luck!
