France
Originally built in 1936 as a freight ship in Belgium, like many of the vessels now used for biking and boating, this vessel was renovated and equipped for a new bike and boat adventure in and around Paris, launching in the spring of 2015.

Overview
In May 2014, Marco Pouw and his wife Astrid assumed ownership of the ship Clair de Lune after years of experience as a skipper on freighters in the Netherlands, Belgium, and Germany. They approached this new venture with great enthusiasm that continues to this day and is apparent from the moment you board your vessel.

*NOTE: E-bikes feature a small electrical engine and battery that assist and ease your pedaling but you still have to pedal yourself. While riding an e-bike can greatly contribute to the enjoyment of your trip, it is not intended for untrained cyclists as it is not easy to handle such a bike. The engine and battery make the bike much heavier than a regular bike and it also accelerates faster. Handling it well requires good basic cycling skills and confidence.
