Péniche ou pénichette?

Question

Google tells me that a péniche is a barge - a massive industrial transport - and a pénichette is a vessel used for recreation.  Google is, of course, notoriously untrustworthy - what are your thoughts?
I'd forgotten that (certain) adjectives that modify proper nouns precede the noun - charmant village de Trève - so reviewed the lesson on "More Adjectives that go BEFORE the noun".  Having done that, I then entered "le paisable historique hameau" ... only to find that historique should follow the noun.  Google (yes again) tells me that qualifying and expressive adjective precede a common noun, while objective and classifying nouns do not.  Maybe add more of an explanation to the lesson?
Merci!

Bonjour J.,
Personally, I have never encountered the word "pénichette". I also could not find it in Le Larousse dictionary or in L'Académie française dictionary. So, on this one, Google is definitely wrong. Also, "une péniche" is the word used to describe a narrowboat while "une barge" is used to describe the ones used for industrial transport.
Google is right about the fact that "that qualifying and expressive adjective precede a common noun, while objective and classifying nouns do not" and thank you for your feedback regarding our lesson on "More adjectives that go BEFORE nous"! I will discuss this with my colleage. However, this is explained in the yellow tip box: "paisible" being a adjective expressing "goodness", it should be placed before the noun it qualifies.
I hope this is helpful.
Bonne journée !
