Musée provençal des transports, Transport museum in Fuveau, France
The museum contains twenty locomotives, tractor units, wagons, and wagonettes arranged throughout the former La Barque railway station building.
Founded in 1969 by Noël Mailliary and Michel Dupont-Cazon, the museum officially opened its doors to visitors in 1972 to showcase industrial transport.
The museum maintains a collection of public transport vehicles from Provence, including trams from Marseille and the only remaining intercity trolleybus from Aix-Marseille.
The museum welcomes visitors every Sunday afternoon from 2:30 PM to 6:00 PM, with special arrangements available for group visits during weekdays.
A narrow-gauge train operates on a 1.8-kilometer rural track, providing visitors with a 40-minute journey using equipment from former coal and bauxite mines.
