Musee National de la Marine

Reviewed By Caramac2018 - Wales, United Kingdom

So much to see in this marvellous museum I had to go back a second time to see it all. Lots of extraordinary, traditional exhibits with meaningful explanations provided by the multilingual information devices. Very pleasant atmosphere and extremely educational and informative. The gift shop is small but has some lovely pieces - reasonably priced.

Musee de la Gendarmerie et du Cinema

Reviewed By 861ivanm - Geneva, Switzerland

Finally the famous Gendarmerie (Police Station) is open to the public, and it is worth the visit. Young visitors and even more their parents will see well displayed furnitures, equipment and memorabilia from the famous films. You can shoot selfies at Gendarme Cruchot's desk, and ride his car. The visit is short but of quality.
