Fondation Renaud

Fondation Renaud preserves Charles‑G. Renaud’s private automobile collection and presents it in a small museum setting near Cortaillod. The collection is shown with historical and technical context rather than as a typical public museum.

Visits are by appointment arranged through the foundation’s website; local car clubs and community groups also organise occasional guided openings. The foundation’s administration address differs from the on‑site museum location, so confirm which address you need before visiting.

A focused presentation of a large private collection of historic vehicles, arranged to show technical and aesthetic development.

Look out for:

• A broad range of vintage and classic cars: sources report roughly 100–120 vehicles in the foundation collection.

• Provenance details on selected cars; some vehicles have appeared in classic‑car sale and press listings.

• A small, appointment‑only display rather than a continuously open public museum.

• Occasional group visits or club events advertised locally.

Best way to experience it:

Book a visit using the foundation’s “Zu Besuch in Cortaillod” form on the official site, or join a locally organised club outing; confirm the meeting address (Cortaillod property vs. the foundation’s administrative address) before you travel.

• Visits are by appointment; use the booking form on the official site.

• The collection is housed at a Cortaillod property; administrative mail goes to Neuchâtel—double‑check addresses.

• Expect a specialist, small‑museum setting rather than large public galleries.

• Group visits and club openings are common—local car clubs and cultural listings are useful for scheduling.
