General presentation
Kristiansund et la Route de l'Atlantique
Urban islands, dried cod and bold bridges directly confront the ocean.
To understand what Kristiansund is and the Atlantic Route, you need to look at Route de l'Atlantique, Norwegian Klippfisk Museum and Grip Island. These places give us a view of a territory marked by urban life, the coastline, island landscapes and heritage and allow us to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.
