The Maillé-Brézé has been anchored for almost 40 years along the Quai de la Fosse, in Nantes. The 132 meter long veteran is not just a place to visit.

Appearing in 2017 on the screen in the film Dunkirk, by Christopher Nolan, the escort must now have a makeover. The one million euro operation is 85% financed by the State, with a supplement paid by the Heritage Foundation. Once towed into dry dock in Saint-Nazaire, the ship should be completely repaired and repainted.
