The Maillé-Brézé Naval Museum in Nantes
Don't miss the opportunity to delve into the city's maritime history by visiting the Maillé-Brézé. This museum ship, unique in France, invites you aboard a real piece of history just a 16-minute drive from our Best Western Atlantys hotel in Saint-Herblain.
The "Maillé-Brézé" Fleet Escort is the seventh in a series of 18 built after the Second World War.
After significant activity in the Atlantic and the Mediterranean, it underwent a refit in Lorient in 1967 to be transformed into an anti-submarine warfare vessel.
Decommissioned, the ship was handed over to the Nantes Marine Tradition Association where it became the first French afloat naval museum of this importance.
Moored on the quays of Nantes, the Maillé-Brézé is much more than just a ship. This former escort ship, listed as a historic monument, invites you to truly immerse yourself in the world of the French Navy.
Now completely renovated, it welcomes visitors for an immersive discovery of life on board a warship.
