A Glimpse into the Past: Ferry Service on the River Seine, Quillebeuf, Normandy, France (circa 1908) This evocative photograph captures a moment in time, transporting us back to the early 1900s in the picturesque town of Quillebeuf-sur-Seine, located in the Normandy region of northern France. The River Seine, a historic and iconic waterway, plays a central role in this scene, as a traditional ferry prepares to embark on its journey across the river. The image is filled with a sense of tranquility and simplicity, as people go about their daily lives. Men and women, dressed in the fashion of the era, can be seen boarding the ferry, while others wait patiently on the shore. Children play nearby, adding a touch of innocence and joy to the scene. The ferry, with its rustic wooden structure and large, sturdy wheels, is a testament to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the people of Quillebeuf. The ferry service played a crucial role in connecting the two banks of the River Seine, allowing people and goods to travel between the towns and villages on either side. The natural beauty of the surroundings is also on full display, with the lush green trees and rolling hills providing a stunning backdrop to the scene. The clear, calm waters of the River Seine reflect the sky above, creating a mirror-like effect that adds to the serene atmosphere. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing us with a window into a simpler time when life moved at a slower pace. It is a reminder of the rich history and culture of Normandy and the importance of the River Seine in shaping the lives of the people who lived and worked along its banks.
