Visit to the "vieille forme", the oldest masonry dry dock in the world, dating back to 1671 in Rochefort

Arriving from downtown, you enter the Arsenal, as those who worked there once did, through the gate (of the Arsenal, of course) built in 1831. Many of the original buildings have now disappeared, including the private stores, the counterpart to the Corderie Royale. To complete your visit, head beyond the harbor to see "la vieille forme", the oldest masonry dry dock in the world (1671), and visit the "Fabrique de l'Arsenal" for an immersive tour. The Arsenal includes the Corderie Royale, the Musée de la Marine and the Accro-mâts.

L'Arsenal avec l'Hermione dans un radoub est un lieu de mémoire, le musée national de la marine permet de comprendre comment étaient construits et réparés les bateaux à voile.

La visite des monuments composant l'arsenal est impressionnante, en réalité il faut vraiment s'imaginer le fonctionnement de l'arsenal et les ouvriers pour comprendre. LEs formes de radoub sont aussi impressionnantes et nous avons pu comparer une forme pleine (eau et navire) et une vide (pour voir la profondeur), côte à côte avec la forme double, là où se situe l'hermione. J'ai été impressionnée par la technologie, avec la présence des écluses etc. Il faut réellement pouvoir entretenir ces lieux pour préserver la vision de ce passé naval !
