Pour les afficionados de la voile ... et pour les autres ! Une visite qui nous en apprend beaucoup sur l'évolution de la navigation à travers les âges , qui explique très bien les subtilités de la voile , les différents matériaux employés , les techniques ect . De très belles photos , maquettes . Pour les plus petits un " pôle " météorologie très ludique pour comprendre les vents ect .
To see once if you are on holiday in the region, if not for the buildings, the visit is exactly the same since the opening ...... except for temporary exhibitions.
To make with children between 6 and 12 years it is well because there is a large fun part.
The price is expensive.
