A Different Paris, a Dream on the Seine, Experience Paris in a New Light Peacefully moored along the calm banks of the Seine, FRANCINE is a Freycinet-type barge built in 1931 by the Van Garsse shipyard in Belgium. Now decommissioned, it offers nearly 210 m² of raw volumes—a promise of space to be reinvented at the heart of a serene urban landscape. Raw Character, a Structure to Sublimate The steel hull, faithful to the industrial elegance of its era, houses a series of bare rooms bathed in light through portholes and skylights. The upper deck includes several open terraces, a canopy, a wooden superstructure of about 27 m², and a boatman's cabin, itself topped by a small belvedere. Every element evokes another time and invites the projection of a new purpose—studio, artist’s residence, contemporary retreat, or hybrid space. A Signed Project, an Approved Vision A complete renovation project, imagined by an architect-designer and validated by a naval expert, is included in the sale. Approved by Voies Navigables de France, the project has been studied, costed, and designed with respect for the site, to bring forth a new life on the water. This vision proposes a harmonious transformation, increasing the living space to 237 m².
