Conservatoire des Transports

The Conservatoire des Transports in Wissembourg preserves historic buses, coaches and commercial vehicles managed by the Association Autocars Anciens de France. The collection focuses on public-transport vehicles and includes rare coaches and marque examples displayed in a large industrial hangar.

Public access is seasonal: Sundays and French/German public holidays from early April to early November, 10:00–18:00. Non-members can visit during these openings; groups of 15+ may book guided visits year‑round by reservation.

On arrival you’ll walk through a large hangar of restored buses and coaches, many with museum labels and period liveries.

What you'll see

• Dozens of preserved coaches, buses and service vehicles used in regional public transport.
