A Glimpse in the National Auto Museum of France



While in the Alsace we went to Mulhouse and visited the National Auto Museum of France. It is a collection compiled by the brothers Schlumpf and is one of the most prestigious in the world. It contains two Bugatti Royales, including the famous Coupé Napoléon, the 150 Bugatti, Hispano-Suiza, Ferrari, Rolls-Royce, Maserati, Maybach, Mercedes models, etc. It was basically an enormous warehouse filled with cars ... row upon row of car after car after car. It starts with some of the first cars ever made, which were pretty neat, and moves on through the years but there's nothing modern in there (thankfully or it would have taken us all day to get through it).

Anyway, enough about cars. Here are some pics. Thanks to Anke Brei for taking all of them:







The car on the right is called the whale and the car on the left is a cute little bubble:









And the Bugatti Royale:
