French destroyer Maillé-Brézé

Zola

The Maillé-Brézé is France's only destroyer-turned-museum, a Cold War warship docked on the Loire where guided tours weave through engine rooms, crew quarters, and the operation center. Climb steep staircases below deck to see how 300 sailors lived and worked in this floating time capsule.

June 11 at 9am

Kids get to run wild through a real French warship, tying nautical knots and decoding ship flags while exploring narrow crew quarters. The rotating workshop format keeps everyone engaged: some groups head below deck with a guide, others tackle puzzles on the quay, and the rest dive into mission games in the ship's own rooms.

Sneak aboard a Russian frigate or race to stop a submarine attack in these Cold War escape games played inside a real 1950s destroyer. The narrow corridors and engine rooms of the Maillé Brézé make for claustrophobic, authentic naval espionage.
