A voyage following the same sea route as La Fayette, with stops in ports chosen for their historic role in the American Revolution and support from the French Navy. A nearly four-month itinerary across the Atlantic and up the eastern coast of America from April to mid-August 2015. Guided tour "At the heart of the Hermione" For some months, we have been offering a new, longer guided tour (1hr15).
