The Étoile ("star") is a French naval schooner used as a training ship.
She was launched on February 8 1932. She is a replica of a type of fishing ship which was used until 1935 off Iceland. She has a sister-ship, the Belle Poule.
Both ships joined the Free French Forces during the Second World War, a deed for which they are still honoured by flying the French flag with the cross of Lorraine.
