DIVE INTO THE HISTORY OF THE SWORDFISH SUBMARINE

Embark on a memorable mission under the ice pack!

1964: a mission under the ice pack! The Espadon was the first French Navy submarine to dive under the ice. The 65 men on board experimented with polar conditions. The engines, chart table, officers' quarters, torpedo room - all the crew members are at their posts. Now it's your turn to go down inside the steel giant for an audio journey to get up close and personal with the submariners. A collector's item at the Écomusée, the Espadon is the only submarine presented afloat in France.

Audio tour, approx. 45 mins. 8 languages: FR, EN, DE, NL, ESP, IT, RU, PL, must be booked in advance.
Last admission: 40 min before site closes.
