Why not immerse yourself in the comic book *The Baudin Expedition: The Ultimate Sacrifice* by Yves Boistelle and Ritsert Rinsma?

The ENSM is delighted to invite you to visit the exhibition of the comic book *The Baudin Expedition: The Ultimate Sacrifice* by Yves Boistelle and Ritsert Rinsma.

Discover the story of a man from Le Havre named Alexandre Lesueur through the original comic strips on display.

“In October 1800, Alexandre Lesueur, a twenty-two-year-old from Le Havre, decided to change the course of his life. He signed on as an assistant gunner on the corvette Le Géographe under the command of Captain Nicolas Baudin. (…)

The expedition soon ran into trouble: the beginnings of a mutiny and serious incidents threatened the voyage of discovery. (…)

With the British constantly hot on their heels, will the commander manage to complete the mission entrusted to him by the Young Republic?”

The exhibition runs from 5 October to 23 October 2026 in the lobby of the ENSM site in Le Havre, every Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 3.00 pm to 4.00 pm.
