On the Île de Chatou, the Maison Fournaise is a former riverside inn and hotel. It now houses a restaurant. In 1880, Renoir wrote, "It is the prettiest place in the vicinity of Paris." Renoir painted about thirty canvases in Chatou. The most famous painting is Luncheon of the Boating Party, which was painted from the restaurant's balcony. Next door, the municipal museum houses collections on the history of the site and of boating, one of the first modern leisure activities on the water.
