Charming little collection of cars and bikes! Understand this is a private collection of cars through the ages. Nothing out of this world but definitely a great stop off place. Super collection of model vehicles too! Easy to let the kids run up and down the lanes, there is also a fire engine and collection of toy ride on vehicles. One for young enthusiasts.

Fantastic. Perfect gift for men! Not hot at all in mid September.

The museum is very interesting but the only reason for the 4 star is just how boiling hot it was inside!

Anyone with even a paving interest in cars will enjoy this! If you're over thirty you can pass a good hour looking for cars 'born' in the same year as you (1965 for me) whilst being amazed at the range and quality of this collection; which I think is privately owned. Entry included in the Reims/Epernay Pass

Pros: parking for free, English speaking staff, cheap, wc available, small shop, 1 big hall with old cars and 1 smaller room with car-toys, interesting for kids especially for boys... Cons: a little bit cold inside, only a few vehicle brands, no English notes

Temple of Edfu

The Temple of Edfu is one of the best preserved ancient shrines in Egypt. It was built in the Ptolemaic Kingdom between 237 and 57 BC.

Edfu was one of several temples built during the Ptolemaic Kingdom, including the Dendera Temple complex, Esna, the Temple of Kom Ombo, and Philae. Its size reflects the relative prosperity of the time. The present temple initially consisted of a pillared hall, two transverse halls, and a barque sanctuary surrounded by chapels. The building was started during the reign of Ptolemy III Euergetes and completed in 57 BC under Ptolemy XII Auletes. It was built on the site of an earlier, smaller temple also dedicated to Horus, although the previous structure was oriented east–west rather than north–south as in the present site.
