A Transoceanic Adventure

Saving a part of history and pride of Rochefort, in the Arsenal shipyard there is a model of the Hermione, which was the ship that the Marquis de Lafayette visited the United States in, in 1780 in aid of the Founding Fathers of America. It was a transoceanic adventure that forever marked this city. Now, more than two centuries later, you can visit the bowels of the ship and imagine the great work that led to its construction at the shipyard. L'Hermione was a frigate of enormous dimensions, whose replica was built in 1997 to repeat the feat. It's looking to do the same route its mother ship accomplished more than 230 years ago.

Hermione

Since 1997, the city of Rochefort has established the construction of the frigate Hermione in the former shipyards. It was with the friate La Fayette in 1780 that he crossed the Atlantic to get to America. They refurbished all the wood. The guided tours are free in September and June. But in July and August, guided tours cost 6 euros.
