Located in the Western wing of
the Trocadero (also called Palais de Chaillot), the
Paris Navy museum (Musée de la Marine in French) presents a
collection of ship
scale models from the 17th century to the present time (right and below).
The visit makes you regret the colorful old time sailing
ships, which hopefully come back to live through events like Brest 2000 in Britanny. The
museum also pays a tribute to the very lively French sailing school, specially alive in
Britanny.
The visit also provides splendid views on the Eiffel tower
from outside the museum.
