A love of boats has run in Didier Spade’s family for two generations.

He is the designer of the Nouveau FRANCE ocean liner and has pursued this project with a passion.

He has stayed resolutely at the helm to achieve the dream shared by many French men and women.

Elisabeth Weis joined him early on, performing duties relating to communications, design, and the development of partnerships, to help this project sail smoothly.

Other partners also pitched in to flesh out the project.
