Descriptif
Embark on the maritime adventure of the Arsenal des Mers for a day!
In this natural and heritage setting on the banks of the Charente, discover all the secrets of the maritime adventures that have taken place in Rochefort's arsenal over the last 350 years.
Today, you're the captain, the coxswain and the sailor!
At the Corderie Royale, you can try your hand at the skills of the spinners and rope makers, and at the Musée National de la Marine, you can learn all about history from the rich heritage collections. If you dare, climb the Accro-Mâts, a course up to 30 m high! In July and August, plunge into an enchanted universe on the theme of the ocean on the Oceana Lumina night-time trail.
Finally, take advantage of the new 2024 trail: La Fabrique de l'Arsenal (The Arsenal Factory), with its exhibition areas ranging from wooden boats to metal ships, including the dry docks and the curious role of the gateboat (exhibition in collaboration with the Heritage Department). Discover the Navy's espionage techniques at the giant Periscope and climb aboard the boat Noé!
