The National Museum of Automobiles and Tourism is an automobile museum located within the Château de Compiègne that focuses on vehicles from different periods. Its collection includes horse-drawn carriages, sleighs, and early motorized vehicles that demonstrate how transportation technology developed over time.
The museum was established in 1927 and focuses on documenting the history of transportation. Its collection traces how people and goods moved from past centuries through the development of modern vehicles.
The collection shows how land transportation evolved from horse-drawn carriages to early automobiles, reflecting changes in how people traveled over time. Visitors can trace this development through the actual vehicles on display.
The museum is located within the palace and is best visited on quieter weekdays when it is less crowded. Comfortable shoes are recommended since the collection is spread across multiple areas.
