JEAN-BART GUY-MARIE

This is a completely amazing project - building a big 17th ship of the line using traditional methods. The people doing it are really hospitable and friendly. We were only able to visit but will be back.

Amzinggg and the tour guide was increDible, highly recommend

Great information and experience. The ship and the history are realy interesting. They are working on the biild and give some demonstrations

Excellent signposting to the site, no parking problems. The site itself isn’t huge so this won’t be your whole day, but there is so much locally that isn’t an issue if you plan. Lots of English text, the short documentary playing has English subtitles and really helps you to understand what’s happening here apart from the obvious. The staff are super friendly and clearly enjoy the site. The tickets are cheap but there are opportunities to spend a fortune on smoked fish, alcohol and gifts if that’s your thing.

In this shipyard the Jean Bart is being built by a team of dedicated carpenters and a blacksmith. This is well worth a visit; a restaurant and a bar serve tasty homemade food and refreshments.

Fascinating living museum. Building a several hundred year old boat from original designs and measurements taken from the wreck of the original. Very well presented multi lingual information boards and extremely knowledgeable tours given by the shipwrights themselves. A must visit if you're anywhere near!

Absolutely amazing - a crazy, inspired and HUGE project. Friendly staff, nice cafe and good information. This really should be better known- why is it not in Atlas Obscura?

Passionate people with a truly awesome project. I'll be happy to go back every few years to see how they are getting on.
