Es war wie ein Viehtransport. Tausende Menschen standen im glühenden Sonnenschein und mussten auf die Fähre warten. Dann dicht gedrängt. Werden wir nie empfehlen. :-(((

Voir la statue une foi mais je ne le referai pas… trop de file trop de monde, la vue depuis le bateau aurait suffit. Sinon le musée est sympa mais attendre une heure voir plus pour repartir dans des interminables files ce n’est pas fou.
