Musée des Blindés, Military museum in Saumur, France
The Musée des Blindés displays over 880 military vehicles, with 200 tanks in working condition spread across multiple exhibition halls.
Founded in 1977, the museum expanded its collection from French armored vehicles to international military machines, relocating to larger premises in 1993.
The museum preserves technical knowledge through restoration workshops and maintains a collection that spans from World War I to modern military equipment.
Located in Loire Valley, the museum welcomes visitors Monday through Friday from 10:00 to 17:00 and weekends from 11:00 to 18:00.
The museum houses the world's oldest operational tank, a Schneider CA1 from 1916, which represents early French military engineering.
