THE LAPÉROUSE MUSEUM
Go there and contact
Museum that traces its glorious existence, placed in the context of an era, that of the great expeditions in Albi.
It is so easy to imagine that as a child on the banks of the Tarn, Jean-François Galaup de Lapérouse was already dreaming of the trade winds. Honest man and brilliant sailor, this Albigensian spent his life delivered to the four winds, embarked on superb ships and subjected to the perils of his marine adventures. The Lapérouse Museum retraces his glorious life, placed in the context of an era of great expeditions. In addition to recounting his family life and his voyages, many objects found on the site of his fatal shipwreck in 1788, in Vanikoro, are on display.

Bien évidemment au regard de la richesse de l'aventure de ce grand navigateur on pouvait espérer encore plus, tant le périple fût dantesque !!!
Mais ne soyons pas boudeurs ni trop exigeants. Apprécions le lieu à sa juste mesure tel qui est.
Le site mérite incontestestablement le détour.
Ne pas hésiter à retourner sur ALBI centre via le vœux pont. Superbe ballade à réaliser.
