Peniches France - Paris

Myles G, Hayward, CA - October 27, 2008

I took a wonderful Seine barge cruise in the summer of 2006, however I never heard them referred to as 'peniches.' So, is the difference being the 'peniches' are the MOORED houseboats whereas the 'barges' (renovated or not) are the ones constantly navigating the river?
