This old warship cruiser belongs to the French Navy and is one of the country's biggest warships. Now with a new lease of life as a museum, you can retrace the life of the vessel from her construction in 1953 to her last mission in 1990 during the Gulf War. In addition to the photography exhibitions on board, a visit to the ship gives you a glimpse of what life must have been like for the sailors who lived and worked on her. You'll come across all the signs of daily living, from mess hall to the barber shop, the dentist's cabin and the hospital ward. Guided tours run every Saturday at 2:30p and there is free parking in front of the ship.
