Conflans-Sainte-Honorine is a
commune in the northwestern suburbs of
Paris,
France in the département of
Yvelines. It is located 24.2 km. (15 miles) from the
center of Paris.
The commune was originally named for its geographic position at the confluence of the
Seine and
Oise rivers. The village was given the addition "Sainte Honorine" in the 13th century after the female
Saint Honorina, whose relics had been stored there since 876.
Partly on account of its strategic position, Conflans-Sainte-Honorine is considered the capital of the French inland waterways, and the right bank of the
River Seine is still lined with
barges (although these are now used mainly as
houseboats). Every year in June, the town celebrates the "Pardon national de la batellerie" in remembrance of its former importance to inland shipping.
