Fransmenn á Íslandi/Les Français en Islande<br />
<strong>The</strong> French heritage of Fáskrúðsfjörður is very interesting, but the<br />
village played an important role for French fishermen fishing of the<br />
east coast in the 19th century, until the onset of the first world war.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re was a French hospital, graveyard and many services. In July<br />
every year the town festival has a French focus. <strong>The</strong> museum about<br />
this era of French fishermen in <strong>Iceland</strong>, makes an interesting stop for<br />
all those interested in culture, with the cosy café with French nuances<br />
on the menu.<br />
