The major refit of the Hermione.
The Hermione is undergoing a major refit in the port of Bayonne in Anglet. She has been put out to dry for a major maintenance operation, as essential repairs have to be carried out on an area of her hull that is usually submerged.
For the first time since the frigate has sailed, she is open to visitors during this refit operation. The Hermione ? La Fayette, the ship?s owner, wishes to share this stage in the Hermione?s life with as many people as possible. This is why an exhibition has been created and installed on the quay, while the ship continues to be accessible to the public during the refit.
Mediators and volunteers are on hand on deck to answer any questions visitors may have.
Self-guided tour or 2 guided tours (Discovery & History or Grand Carénage).
