transport along the Seine at Sèvres, France

"Vue du pont de Sèvres" by Henri Rousseau from 1908.
Sèvres is a suburb of Paris, about 10 km west of the centre. It is known for its porcelain manufacture and for the Treaty of Sèvres in 1920 between the victorious Allies of WW1 and the one-time Ottoman Empire.  Today there is busy river, rail and road traffic here.
