River shuttles: in Paris, the first boat converted to electric has launched on the Seine

The small cruise yacht silently leaves the port of Javel (15th century). In the room lined with dark wood and adorned with a pretty fireplace where a fake fire crackles, there is no vibration or smell of exhaust. “Le Cachemire”, flagship of the Yachts de Paris company, owned by Sodexo Live, has gone electric. It is the first cruise ship of its kind to sail on the Seine.
