This museum is inside the Citadel, and part of the ticket price. A detailed history of lifeboats in France. The Citadel itself Larger than appeared from the approach a good example of a star citadel. Even with renovations during our visit plenty to see and learn.

A really interesting place to visit and full of beautiful exhibits. Recommend getting an audio talk as most of the displays are in French. Staff helpful.
Very good museum that shows the history of the East India company that includes the links to the British history of trading with China and the Orient. Don't miss out on the ancient porcelain exhibition on for the summer, Chinese figurines from the 17th century and an amazing exhibition of fans, of all things.
I will start with the positive The citadel is huge structure with amazing history behind it it takes around an hour to really get round and visit the museum as well it is worth the visit for any one that likes true French European history. For a family I say children from the age 8 upwards any younger will get board they did have some cosplay for the kids which is good but nothing else. The negative again I have found in France any place I have visited the staff not friendly to non French speakers. Its a tourist place of interest so I would expect more of a welcome that's why it got 4 stars . But all in all worth visiting and for the price worth paying the entrance fee.
Interesting museum of French lifeboat service and east indies trading, lovely historical buildings, definitely worth a visit particularly if the weather is nice.
We visited this museum with our children, everyone enjoyed it. It is also impressive just to see the fort and walk around there.
Very interesting french history. Lovely environment. Tourist friendly.
