Cite' de L'Automobile

When we biked through Mulhouse ,we could have visited this world famous museum then. However this is a place worthy of  at least half a day so today was it !
   It covers a whole city block and houses over 400 of the worlds most valuable cars including a Bugatti Royale estimated to be worth over 25 million NZ. 
Every one of the cars here is in perfect working order and for the petrol heads, there's a lot of the motors on display.
  They still make Bugatti's near here including this 400 km/h model. 
You carry an audio guide which was really helpful. I must admit though that after a few hours it was a bit overwhelming
  Renault and Citroen are also made right here in Mulhouse.
  Out on the Autodrome, the special event center ,there was a WW2 memorabilia day. 
  If you're ever in this part of France it's really worth going to see.
  It's been damned hot in the afternoons and all we want now is a motor camp with a swimming pool !
