March 2010 - visit the museum Malartre A fine goal to ride in Lyon:
Malartre the museum, museum of the cycle, motorcycle and automobile! A
Rochetaillé, about 20 km from Lyon, in a splendid castle, and some of the halls adjoining the museum is located, started by a collector (and former owner of a snack) at the beginning of last century. Many unique pieces punctuate this collection of vehicles, many of which are related to the history of Lyon. On this blog, this post will be dedicated to light vehicles and propulsion muscle or joint, but know that it is much more to see in this museum!
