Reviews
This museum houses a large collection of artifacts from the transatlantic cable to France (hence the name). Many of the pieces have descriptions in attached, but on a whole it isn't organized into a very coherent presentation. That said, if you had any interest in early forms of communication or morse code it's neat to visit- for the best possible experience bring along an electrical engineer to explain everything to you.
