MUSEUM IN fRANCE

Whilst driving through France this summer I came across a museum in the grounds of a Chateau, I spent a very enjoyable day there.

The Chateau les Savigny, built in 1340, has on display 200 fighter aircraft including Meteors, Vampires, F84s, F100s the complete Blue Angels team, the Patrouil de France team every mark of Russian Mig and far too many others to list.

The Chateau also houses 2,300 model aircraft, 300 motorcycles, and a selection of racing cars. There is accomodation nearby.

The Chateau is open 09.00-18.30 April to October
and 09.00-12.00 and 14.00-17.30 November to March

Entrance costs 10 euros for adults, children under 9 are free.

PS An added bonus is that the Chateau is also a vineyard and produces its own excellent wine!
