The sailing ship Duchesse Anne is the largest visitable sailing ship in France
The majestic three-master Duchesse Anne, a former German training ship in Dunkirk, offers a fascinating insight into the living conditions of sailors in days gone by. Christened Grossherzogin Elisabeth, she was launched in 1901 and sailed for three decades, training generations of officers and sailors. Renovated in 2025 by the city of Dunkirk, this majestic three-master has been restored to her former glory and is now open to the public. A 30-minute tour explores the various spaces and immerses visitors in life aboard an exceptional ship.
