THE MESH-BRÉZÉ
Go there and contact
After being used as a set in 2016 for a Hollywood blockbuster(Dunkirk, by Christopher Nolan), the Maillé-Brezé is enjoying peaceful days in the port of Nantes. Its imposing gray silhouette can be seen from afar on the Quai de la Fosse (132.5 m long, 12.7 m wide). It is located a stone's throw from the Chamber of Commerce and Industry. Classified as a historical monument in 1988, it is the first naval museum afloat in France. Seventh military escort of a series of 18, it was built after the war and commissioned in 1957. After serving in the Atlantic and the Mediterranean, she was transformed into an anti-submarine warfare ship. She was then handed over to the Nantes Marine Tradition association which takes care of her maintenance and organizes visits on board. She was towed to Nantes in 1988.

Members' reviews on THE MESH-BRÉZÉ
Classé monument historique, le Maillé-Brézé est depuis 1988 le premier musée naval à flot de France et participe à la mise en valeur d’un patrimoine qui sinon risquerait de sombrer dans l’oubli.
Ce navire de guerre appartient à une association et est en grande partie entretenu par des bénévoles, donc en le visitant vous aidez en plus l association!!
Nous avons été sincèrement conquis!
Pour l anecdote ce navire a été prête pour le tournage de Dunkerque de C Nolan.
Je conseille cette visite et pourtant je ne suis pas une fan de bateau... ????????
