That day we were going to Château de Savigny, to see their aeroplanes museum. We started from the beginning 🙂 which was a smaller palace with rooms and interior.
Please note these beautiful window frames:
The house had a number of interesting paintings:
And what about the one below? Opening a bottle of champagne should never be boring!
The Château de Savigny-lès-Beaune, built in 1340 and renovated in the 17th century, is a listed historic monument. This former fortress now houses some unusual collections.
The château and its outbuildings house 30 prototype Abarth racing cars:
We continued from one hall to another one.
There were over 200 motorbike models dating from 1903 to 1960. The yellow one on the photo below is Harley Davidson:
Tractors, of course:
Rockets and satellites – why not?
There were also halls with approx. 7,000 scale models…
But we came there to see the aeroplanes.
The Château de Savigny-lès-Beaune houses the largest collection of fighter planes in the world. Nearly 100 fighter planes brought from all over the world are exhibited in the Château park, including 4 Patrouille De France planes, 11 MIGs and 17 Dassaults.
Goats helped to keep the greenery down:
It was very interesting to walk around all those aeroplanes, but unfortunately the information about exhibited models was almost non-existing.
It was possible to go wine tasting, but we didn’t want to drink.
Flemming and I got back to Beaune and used our evening to prepare for the next destination.
