Museum housing works dedicated to Jacques Cartier, the 16th century, the Great Discoveries, the Amerindians...
After his travels in Canada, Jacques Cartier settled in the Limoëlou manor in Rothéneuf. Now a museum and the only legacy of this explorer born in Saint-Malo, it pays tribute to this discoverer of Canada. Temporary exhibitions, projections, adventure books for children are offered as well as animations around the tale or travel stories. In the bookstore, you will discover French and Canadian editions as well as works dedicated to Jacques Cartier. A nice visit to understand the great discoveries!

C'est très complet : on apprend beaucoup de choses à la fois sur le contexte géopolitique de l'époque et les raisons de la découverte du Canada ; le mode de vie des habitants de l'époque, notamment via la partie du manoir qui était utilisé comme bâtiment de ferme ; des informations sur les voyages maritimes avec la présentation de quelques outils de navigation.
Je recommande fortement la visite de ce musée pour les personnes séjournant une semaine à Saint Malo.
