    Description

    Hello, the houseboat is 1h from Paris by train or car . Im making it off grid and renovating it . It’s been a fun process so far and I’ve met some really cool workawayers!

    The city is between two royal cities Compiegne and Pierrefonds very beautiful areas to experience . Big chateaux nearby and the forest and hikes are a must do .

    I have two samoyed pups plants and fish on board ti take care of . It’s a huge boat not the typical yacht style . It’s all in iron as was used to ship sand before it became a house.

    I’m a practitioner and teacher of yoga massage w a associates psychologist degree. I teach people of all ages on the boat, in Paris or in south France .

    The boat is navigating soon to another city something which rarely happens so I would love the company.

    Jacuzzi bikes car kayak and smaller boat available.
