At the July 14th parade on the Champs-Élysées, the firefighters are the most applauded! They are capable of risking their lives to save Notre-Dame, but also to cross Paris with sirens screaming to save an anonymous man. And it is quite unusual to think that these men, constantly immersed in action, also have a peaceful museum, which tells their story... this official museum of the French fire brigade is located in Montville, in Seine-Maritime.
Visit...
This official museum is first and foremost, of course, the showcase of this very special profession,
It makes a very special impression. Red, copper, machines, vehicles, and all of them intended to serve, to save...
Around him, to bring it to life and make it known, the Association of Friends of the French Fire Brigade Museum, which has created a very comprehensive website, which lets us experience, among other things, the restoration work carried out by volunteers over the years.
Enjoy your visit, during which you will see some very unusual objects and equipment, of course, but also and above all the reflection of a permanent willingness to serve.
