"Nomadic" lay idle for five years but was subsequently bought by a private individual, Yvon Vincent, saving her from scrap once again. She was extensively converted into a floating restaurant and function vessel, and in October 1974 was relocated to the Seine in Paris. A depiction of "Nomadic" was briefly seen alongside the "Titanic" in Cherbourg in James Cameron's 1997 film "Titanic". By 1999, the business was in financial difficulties and "Nomadic" was seized by the Paris harbour authorities in 2002. The authorities removed some of "Nomadic's" superstructure to tow her below the Seine's bridges. On 1 April 2002 she was towed out of Paris to Le Havre.
