François Beaudouin (1929 - 2013)

On 7 and 8 May 2014 in Montjean-sur-Loire, many friends, bargees, association members and people who have had the opportunity to work with him came together to pay tribute to François Beaudouin, on the initiative of Philippe Cayla and Florent Godelaine. This shared moment comprised personal accounts, exchanges and sailing on the Loire. 

The man who, in January 1967, founded the inland shipping museum of national interest in Conflans-Sainte-Honorine was an ethnographer, sailor, river painter and heritage curator. All throughout his career, he worked for the recognition of river and maritime nautical space in all its diversity and for the showcasing of its heritage in all its forms.  

In active retirement during his final years, he continued teaching at conferences, supporting varied projects (construction of the Savonnières flat-bottomed "scute" boat, taking part in exhibitions, model and film making, and so on).
