Navigation on the Rhône and Saône; an uninterrupted stream of innovations
From prehistoric times to the present, navigation on the Rhône and Saône rivers has sparked an explosion of ingenuity and innovation.
Look into these innovations with the exhibition “From tree trunk to the boat of the future,” offered by Promofluvia and the Alliance des Rhodaniens.
This exhibition composed by 9 panels will be displayed on Tuesday and Wednesday in the corridors of the University Lyon 2 and on Thursday in the atrium, in the heart of I.S.Rivers, to enjoy it between oral sessions.
