The full story about the French seamen in Fáskrúðsfjörður can be found at Fosshotel Eastfjords, a smart new development inside the sensitively renovated former French hospital and other buildings from the era. In the hotel lobby, an excellent museum (adult/child Ikr1000/free) paints a detailed portrait of the French connection to the fjord (check out the recreated sailors' quarters downstairs).
