We didn't know what to expect, but was good to have a look around. We don't speak much french, but the gentleman on the front desk couldn't have tried harder with us and between our limited french and his limited English we got by.
The exhibits don't have any English translation but they do have an English booklet to guide you around the museum.
It wasn't huge but was interesting enough to see all the old engines and uniforms. We traveled 40 minutes and spent about an hour and a half here. Which was perfect for what we were looking for.
We took a 4 month old and he was content in his buggy there was only one bit he couldn't go to as there were steps so we took him out and carried him. They also have a baby changing facility in the toilets.
