New Museum for Tanks (Carentan/Catz)

Thats now on my list of " must see" in the future. Thanks for the heads up :thumb2
 
Noted!:thumb

Also, Hey Piaf, did i hear that the Vimouter Tiger is getting moved this year to a preservation Society's workshops for renovation?
If so, can you please find out the date as I would like to be there when they move it.

Thank you for this.

I am taking a group and we are sailing overnight into St Malo on the 1st May. I will look to incorporate this into the Friday's itinerary, it might be a bit crowded if it will have only just opened but what the heck.

1st May is a National Holiday here so Friday could be a good choice as it is a normal working day. :thumb
 
The exact location of the museum is 'La Fourchette' on the D974.

Took some photos and it would appear they have a 'bit' to do if it is going to open on time (1/05/2013).

The view from the road.
The museum is to be located at the rear of the premises at lower ground level.

No signs or proper access yet. Still a lot can happen in 3 weeks!
I read in the local press today that the residents of La Fourchette have submitted a petition against it opening. Watch this space. :rolleyes:
