Le Lapin Vert performance barge leaves Joinville-le-Pont

On Monday, November 2, 2026, the mayor of Joinville-le-Pont, located in the Val-de-Marne department, announced that the barge known as Le Lapin Vert has officially left its mooring along the riverbank. This departure marks the end of an era for the vessel, which had served as the region's only performance barge for over a decade.

This move follows several years of uncertainty regarding the future of the boat, which had become a familiar fixture of the local landscape and cultural scene. The authorities have confirmed that the vessel is no longer present at its historic site in Joinville.

While the barge was known primarily as a cultural venue, its presence was part of the ongoing evolution of river heritage in the Paris region. No further details have been provided at this stage regarding the future location or the destination of the structure.
