A modest but modern museum. Friendly staff and modern exposition. Cool souvenirs. We were happy we went.

Naval museum building is full of army ship and different kind of pirate ship prototypes. Some of them has descriptions in English about what it is and for some of the pirate ships, it was in Polish. Outside building, they have kept quite lot of mighty tankers, missiles and Artilleries for display. You can just stroll around if you have nothing much planned for the day,

First of all, it’s more convenient to come to the museum during weekdays - you will face with less amount of people. However, the tickets on that weekend were free( surprisingly ), but there wasn’t any queues to entry to the museum, thankfully. The museum itself is very interactive and simple at the same time. The main exhibitions - inside and outside - contain the full-scale models of naval equipment: mines, missiles, guns and cannons etc. It has only 2 flours + additional flour with models of really old sail vessels. Mostly everything has English captions. Then, after inside part, you are welcome to enter the outside exhibition: several full-scale machines like plane, submarine, several tracks stand there and wait for visitors. Best place for kids, especially boys. Also, when I was visiting the museum, there were several old-fashioned cars in front of the museum - cool attraction definitely!

There are a lot of things but nothing stands out. Should be an interesting place for curious children though

Château du Lude

The Château du Lude is one of the many great châteaux of the Loire Valley in France. Le Lude is the most northerly château of the Loire Valley and one of the last important historic castles in France, still inhabited by the same family for the last 260 years. The château is testimony to four centuries of French architecture, as a stronghold transformed into an elegant house during the Renaissance and the 18th century. The monument is located in the valley of Le Loir. Its gardens have evolved throughout the centuries.
