Charentonneau Island, also known as the Island of the Burnt Mill, is a park full of history and nostalgia. A story that begins in the year 988 with the donation of the mill by Hugues Capet to the abbots of Saint-Maur. The mill was used by the people to grind their grain and was partially destroyed by fire in 1883. It became a hospital during the Second World War then became a waterside tavern in the '20s.
