AUTOMOBILE MUSEUM Prince August (1837-1924), fond of sciences and technical progress, could not resist and purchased his first prestigious car in 1891: a PANHAR ET LEVASSOR. He shared his passion with his son, Prince Pierre d’ARENBERG (1871-1919) who was to be the Founder Chairman of the Automobile Club du Centre in 1905. The previous year, he took his young bride out of their wedding celebration on board an ELECTRIC car!!! In 1997, for the celebration of his wedding in Bourges, Prince Pierre’s grand-son sent him a veiled reference when driving his spouse Sylvia de Castellane out of the wedding mass on board an electric car. One generation after the other, the Princes d’Arenberg will be actively implicated in the adventure of automobile. This passion for automobiles concerns also the model cars that you can marvel at in this museum. Science, technical progress, speed, challenges, collections of prestigious cars are the core of this museum that evidences the commitment of the Prince d’ARENBERG to keep this automobile patrimony.
