Museums in France

The 1000m2 building is purpose-built, and holds in all around 50 cars. The museum contains post-war Citroens, exclusively in exceptional, "show room" condition, with very low mileage. The museum is the result of 25 years of passion and dedication to the search for these cars all over France. The whole range is represented from the 2CV to the SM, in an almost "new from the factory" condition. Furthermore, some are exceptionally rare, such as the famous DS no. 32, sold in 1955, and the oldest example of this model known to be in existence today.

There are 130 vehicles on display in this rural museum, including horse-drawn carriages, cars, motorcycles, light trucks and tractors as well

An exceptional collection in Eure-et-Loir province, this museum features a wide range of cars made between 1885 and 1965, plus bicycles and motorbikes. There are Fiat, Simca, Licorne, Panhard cars and a nice Facel-Vega as well.
