Péniche Daphné's

Péniche Daphné is a bed and breakfast located on a moored barge along the Oise River, featuring two guest rooms each with a private bathroom and a balcony. Both rooms overlook the water in a quiet riverside location.

The barge was converted and opened in 2014 to provide travelers with an original lodging experience in the historic region. This transformation of a transport vessel into guest accommodation links traditional river navigation history with contemporary hospitality.

The location sits in a town deeply connected to Vincent van Gogh and the Impressionist art movement of the 19th century. Visitors can explore the places that inspired artists and continue to shape the region's artistic heritage today.

Reception staff are available from 10 am to 7 pm, with check-in possible between 6 and 8 pm and check-out before noon. Since the accommodation is aboard a vessel, guests should be prepared for the limited space and movement typical of barge living.

The vessel is an authentic former transport barge that was specifically converted to receive guests, not a replica built for tourism. This authenticity allows visitors to experience the actual feel and structure of an inland waterway transport vessel while enjoying modern guest comforts.
