Description
Immerse yourself in the world of an authentic submarine and experience the life of a French Navy crew. Wander through the corridors of the Espadon on an immersive audio tour.

Marvel at the ingenuity of the Espadon, the only submarine on display afloat in France, and imagine the solidarity that drove the crew during each dive.
