Any other Ille De France buffs here? Ive recently developed an intererst in her..was she sister ship to the Paris?
The Ille was a prime example of art deco spledor..Even after her refit when she was reduced to two funnels, she looked magnificent.
Acting as the recue ship during the Andrea Doria sinking assured her place in history.
In the film "The Last Voyage", during which the Ille was partially sunk, one is afforded stunning glimpses of the Ille's interior.
The scene of the Ille's forward funnel crashing down into the wheelhouse was particularly sad..
She was one of the best....
