Le Maillé-Brézé is a retired French T-47 destroyer moored on the Loire as a museum ship. Commissioned in 1957 and decommissioned in 1988, it gives visitors a close look at Cold War naval design, from the decks and guns to the working spaces below.
Visits are normally by guided tour, so check tour times before walking out to the quay. The ship pairs well with the Machines de l'île and the riverside sights of western Nantes.
