As reported earlier, the Cassard class French destroyer, D-615 FS Jean Bart has arrived in Novorossiysk on 23 April 2013 for an official visit.
The ship will stay till 26 April. I have no information about where she will sail after leaving Russia. Russian shipspotter and blogger Mr. Igor Torgachkin has some excellent photos of FS Jean Bart in his website.

Hi Nikolay, thank you for the information. I have used one of the photos in my blog and linked to your excellent and interesting blog.
Today April 30 she is docked in the Golden Horn just below Topkapi Palace in Istanbul.
Hi Mike, Thank you. I know, I watched her when she was docking. I intend to post my photos tonight.
