Citadelle port - Louis museum

Located on the Atlantic Ocean at the entrance to Lorient harbour, Port-Louis Citadel is a fascinating site built in 1618. Situated in the heart of the Citadel, the National Maritime Museum presents an outstanding collection of boats, old navigation instruments and historical models. The museum itinerary is organised around two thematic areas – one dealing with the history of sea rescue and the other with shipwrecks on the route to the Indies. The East India Company Museum is also located in the Citadel, making it a first-rate museum complex.
