Hi all, a while ago someone on here posted pictures of a HUGE car museum in France that had all types of cars from a long line of F1 cars to group B rally cars and many classics too.
If anyone knows the name of the museum could they please post it or a link to it perhaps.
We have tried looking through the old topics but can't seem to find it and the search function is currently down too.

Thanks,
Ben and Cheryl

Similar to the first one but does't quite seem the riht one. Loving the peugeot one though.
For some reason I've got it in my head that the museum is in the same place as where Venturi(s) used to be made before they were boughts out by an eco freak and construction was moved to monaco. But this also may be fictional memory.

I think the Museum is the one at Loheac, in north western France not far from Rennes.

I went to Loheac after this years LeMans Classic. A much larger collection than I expected and I certainly didn't expect to see a full set of Group B cars. Well worth a visit.

Just thought I'd add, Mullhouse was actually amazing, not a huge amount of exotica but a plethora (sp) of bugattis (plural?) as well as some very nice ancient cars (circa 1876 for the ealriest) took over 300 photos in the place. The area outside doesn't leave much to be desired (think - am I going to get mugged at the next corner) but the meuseum was, as I said, AMAZING!.
Unfortunately I didn't have enough time to visit the railway museum but, but maybe next time.
