I am going to France next summer and was interested in going to the Saumur Tank Museum. The problem is that the website is in French and I can only translate some parts. It also does not seem to include any directions which would be helpful since I do not know how to get there. If anyone can fill me in on the details that I need...
Thanks

Maybe you could translate the site using this Altavista Babelfish
I know it has helped me in the past.
Enjoy your trip! I wish I was able to go.

The entry fee is 4€
openend from 10 to 17 o'clock
I checked how to get there from Paris :
Highway A6a (10 km)
highway A10 (40 km)
highway A11 (220 km)
highway A85 (40 km)
get out of the highway and take the D 767 (500 meters)
turn left and take the N 147 (2 km)... straight ahead and you'll be in the town of Saumur.
There, you should be able to find road signs taking you to the museum.
I'm sorry, there was nothing on the site so I did a research on www.mappy.fr
cheers !
