Un lieu unique autour de la mer et de l’histoire maritime de Lorient, empreint d’histoire et de modernité. Le complexe est articulé autour d’un bâtiment neuf qui sert de vitrine, d’accueil et héberge certaines des expositions, dont celle destinée aux petits moussaillons. Les autres expositions sont distribuées sur le reste du site, qui comprend l’ancienne base sous-marine avec ses blocs massifs datant de la seconde guerre mondiale. Ne manquez pas la visite du sous-marin La Flore (classe Daphné). Pour les férus de voile les ateliers de quelques grandes écuries de course au large vous attendent (dont celui de la team Banque Populaire). Il est également possible de faire des sorties à la voile sur réservation. Enfin, la balade le long du Ter qui longe le site est fort agréable.

Accueil chaleureux pour notre groupe de 90 personnes. Seul petit bémol boutique fermée vers midi alors que certaines personne voulait ramener un souvenir dommage.
