J'ai personnellement visité 2 fois ce musée, car à la première visite je n'ai pas eu le temps de faire le tour.Compter deux bonnes heures de visite.Je propose à mes locataires de notre gîte cette visite et aucun n'as été déçu. Je vous conseille de faire le tour des remparts après votre visite et d'aller faire un tour sur le petit port de Locmalo belle photo garantie.
Pour être honnête, je n'ai pas visité la citadelle mais le point de vue et la promenade le long des remparts est superbe
The citadel itself is moderately interesting and worth 3 stars. The museum is worth 5 stars for its graphic portrayal of the history of commerce. Even for those who do not read French, it is easy to understand the cross shipment of numerous products, passengers and slaves that made up commerce in the age of sail. We took 2 hours in the museum and could easily have spent 1-2 more hours. In addition there is an interesting section on rescue at sea.
The fort is imposing, but the real treasure is inside: the trio of museums, especially the one on the East India trade. Great artifacts w minimal English translations.
Une belle visite, intéressante, trois musées, environ 1h30 au sein de la citadelle pour un prix très abordable 8€ pour un adulte.Je vous la conseille!
Learning about the history of the East India Company and the French Sea Rescue Service in the historic Fort, with views across to L'Orient.
An old fortified town, surrounded by boats (that suits us). Found the harbou rmasters office very helpful and loved the feel of the place. Didn't think there was a great choice of eating out within the old town but then we weren't looking. Just thought it was a very charming place and the locals that we came across seemed friendly. Worth a stop but not for too long (depending on what you want of course).
First came across the Citadel when it was closed.... Had to go back! The size and unique design is incredible.... They need to offer flights over it to get a better impression. Good value for money too as you get 3 museums inside as well - sea rescue, treasures of the ocean, and the history of sea trade with the East. I found the armoury and the big hall next to it the most interesting. But I would have gone just to get a feel of the place and to imagine being on those ramparts with a man-of-war trying to gain access to the port.....
Un site trés intéressant avec le musée de la compagnie des Indes le musée posséde de superbes expositions qui raconte l'histoire des 350 ans de la création de la compagnie des Indes Française Superbe maquettes de bateaux
A walk around the town is good enough, but coupled with the beach, the citadel, the museums in the citadel and the wonderful resistance memorial, this place is a must to go and see! 45 minutes from Au coin de bertrand
