    Slightly hidden in a corner of the Ateliers des Capucines and easy to miss in the enormous space is the beautiful white and gold barge of Emperor Napoleon, built in 1810 (which Napoleon III also used later in the 19th century). The rowers sit behind a golden Neptune armed with a trident, and behind it is a cabin for the rower, literally crowned. All kinds of mythical creatures and insignia shine in gold. The barge, majestic despite its small size, was used by the emperor for fleet inspections in the important military port of Brest and is an outdoor exhibit in the Naval Museum.
