Château de Savigny-lès-Beaune

Château de Savigny‑lès‑Beaune is a historic estate near Beaune that houses seven permanent museums spanning aviation, automobiles, motorcycles, model making, firefighting vehicles, aerospace and viticulture. The visit includes the 14th‑century château, the 17th‑century Petit Château and the park across roughly 10–12 hectares.

Collections are presented as distinct galleries: expect large aircraft displays (including military jets), extensive motorcycle and car collections, scale models and wine‑related artifacts. The château is open daily and a single admission covers all museums and grounds.

A compact but varied museum complex where each building focuses on a different mechanical or regional heritage theme.

Look out for:

• The extensive collection of combat aircraft and display of Patrouille de France jets.

• Around 250 vintage motorcycles spanning early 1900s to mid‑20th century.

• Prototype and racing cars, plus scale model displays (several thousand models).

• The château buildings, the small château and park that sit among the collections.
