It was with her husband Georges Fillioud that Danièle Evenou decided to come and live near the Sorgue. Far from the tumult of Paris, the Vaucluse places she frequents inspire serenity and gentleness in her.
Navigate the Sorgue aboard a Négo Chin
Despite the water being 12 degrees, Danièle Evenou boarded a “Négo Chin”. On this small wooden boat typical of the region, which means drowning your dog because of its instability, Danièle Evenou lets herself sail along with the water thanks to Alain Prétôt. Fisherman, member of the Pescaire Lilen brotherhood and builder of “Négo Chin”, Alain has made a total of 147 boats since 1978. He is one of the only ones to perpetuate this traditional manufacturing.
Despite the instability of the boat, Danièle Evenou lets herself sail on this unique river…

Alain Prétôt takes Danièle Evenou to his hangar, where he makes his “Négo Chin”. This 5 meter long boat is made from spruce. One of its most surprising features: when not in use, it is filled with water so that the wood remains swollen and remains waterproof.
Like gondolas, “Négo Chin” have a flat bottom.
