Charming little collection of cars and bikes! Understand this is a private collection of cars through the ages. Nothing out of this world but definitely a great stop off place. Super collection of model vehicles too! Easy to let the kids run up and down the lanes, there is also a fire engine and collection of toy ride on vehicles. One for young enthusiasts.

Fantastic. Perfect gift for men! Not hot at all in mid September.

The museum is very interesting but the only reason for the 4 star is just how boiling hot it was inside!

Anyone with even a paving interest in cars will enjoy this! If you're over thirty you can pass a good hour looking for cars 'born' in the same year as you (1965 for me) whilst being amazed at the range and quality of this collection; which I think is privately owned. Entry included in the Reims/Epernay Pass

Pros: parking for free, English speaking staff, cheap, wc available, small shop, 1 big hall with old cars and 1 smaller room with car-toys, interesting for kids especially for boys... Cons: a little bit cold inside, only a few vehicle brands, no English notes

Walls of Constantinople

The Walls of Constantinople are a series of defensive stone walls that have surrounded and protected the city of Constantinople (today Istanbul) since its founding as the new capital of the Roman Empire by Constantine the Great. With numerous additions and modifications during their history, they were the last great fortification system of antiquity, and one of the most complex and elaborate systems ever built. They were also the largest and strongest fortification in both the ancient and medieval world.

Initially built by Constantine the Great, the walls surrounded the new city on all sides, protecting it against attack from both sea and land. As the city grew, the famous double line of the Theodosian Walls was built in the 5th century. Although the other sections of the walls were less elaborate, they were, when well-manned, almost impregnable for any medieval besieger.
