For everyone's health, procedures are put in place at the different stages of your visit. It is important to read them.

• Only an employee of the Voies d'Eau du Hainaut ASBL can give you permission to go down to the pontoon when the conditions are met (boat prepared and disinfected + free pontoon).
• Wearing a mask is strongly RECOMMENDED on the pontoon as it is narrow. Wearing a mask does not exempt you from respecting the barrier gestures.
