Musée des Blindés

Housed in a one-time cigarette factory, this nonprofit museum displays more than 200 blindés (tanks) and other "armored cavalry" vehicles – some in working order – from 17 countries. The world-class collection includes once top-secret tanks from all sides in WWI, WWII and the Cold War, including French models rarely seen overseas, the world's most complete collection of WWII-era German vehicles, and lots of Soviet Bloc tanks. Right near the exit, visitors can climb inside French, British and Swedish troop-transport vehicles.
