Château de Meillant - Old Cars

A 1935 Lancia 8 cylinder and other cars in the stables at Château de Meillant.

In the centre of France, in the Berry, is the beautiful Renaissance château in the town of Meillant.  If you are a car enthusiast, be sure to visit the stables and the museum of miniatures.  The Chateau itself is also worth the trip.  A very enjoyable trip out, post-confinement, even if we had to wear masks.

For lovers of patina!   Nobody could accuse these cars of being over-restored, or even restored at all!  The car in the foreground is a Delehaye 135M.
