Originally used to transport grain between Reims and Rouen, this 38.71-meter Freycinet barge is a true witness to France’s rich inland navigation heritage. Converted into a liveaboard in the 1980s, it was purchased by the current owner in 2021, who carried out major compliance upgrades and interior renovations in 2022.

Today, three terraces offer pleasant outdoor spaces, ideal for enjoying sunny days along the water. Inside, the layout combines comfort and modernity while preserving the unique charm of life on board. The fully equipped kitchen (induction cooktop, 220V oven, 220V fridge, freezer, microwave, dishwasher) allows you to cook just like at home.

In addition, this Freycinet barge features a spacious 160 m² raw hold that can be fully customized — ideal for creating additional living space, a workshop, office, gym, or rental project. The hull is in good condition and has been regularly maintained, ready to support new ideas.

This rare find will appeal to lovers of unique spaces, fluvial heritage, and freedom — whether for a primary residence, second home, or business venture.

The barge comes with a valid Community Certificate (Union Certificate) until 2031 for navigation zones 3 and 4.
