Date 050227 Le gabarit Freycinet est indiqué à 40m de long 5,20m de large pour une capacité de 270T et 1,80m d'enfoncement dans l'eau sur les panneaux bordant les quais de Seine au port des Champs Elysées à Paris pour les péniches dites du Nord. Les informations de l'article sont donc à vérifier.

The above comment was on the original French article from which this was translated. Different sources do indeed quote different values. I have cited an apparently reliable government source for the values I have quoted. These are also the smallest values found, which I think errs on the side of safety.
