From Tropik FM, loosely translated:

From Friday, April 5, we will have the joy of seeing sail in the turquoise waters of Saint-Barthélemy, our youngest godchild: The light patrol vessel La Confiance.

As part of this port call, people are invited on board to tour the ship:

Saturday, April 6, 2019: 9 am to 11:30 am and 2 pm to 5 pm

Sunday, April 7, 2019: 9 am to 11:30 am and 2 pm to 5 pm

Monday is reserved for a visit by the schoolchildren.




The PLG-class La Confiance replaces the P400-class La Capricieuse, which was scheduled to be decommissioned.

Toured the ship last year . . . very interesting. The tour guide only spoke in French, with which I am not fluent, so the sailor/guide allowed me to simply wander along the route at my own slow pace. It was great . . . fascinating! If you’ In the area, I urge you to visit the ship.
 
We toured the ship yesterday. The crew was very nice, but unfortunately spoke only French. We were able to get the gist of what was being said, and enjoyed the tour.
