The
Musée de la Compagnie des Indes is unique in France, and brings the extraordinary history of the major trading companies of the 17th and 18th centuries to life.
Model vessels, stamps, old maps, Indo-European furniture, Chinese porcelain and Indian cottons all reflect this incredible maritime saga.
It is this quest for precious goods that took the Company’s agents on long and perilous voyages at sea to the shores of Africa, the Middle East, Asia and America.
