Comments
(en) Belle Poule is a French Navy schooner in service as a training vessel, and the fourth ship of that name in the French Navy. She was built in 1932 as a replica of a cod fishing vessel used off Iceland, as a training ship of the students of the École Navale. During the Second World War, Belle Poule sailed to the United Kingdom after the Fall of France and was used by the Free French Naval Forces, returning to Brest in 1945. The schooner as well as her sister ship Étoile (also featured on an AMC silver round of the same series) are still used by the École Navale as training ships in European waters.
Belle Poule and Étoile now sail around Brest during the winter, and occasionally participate in meetings during the summer, mainly in European waters. In 2009, they crossed the Atlantic to New York. Since 13 May 1978, Belle Poule has been sponsored by the city of Pauillac. Belle Poule underwent a refit in 2006.
