Default French Automobile Museum

About 7 years ago or so when I was 16 in school, I went on a student exchange trip to France. Whilst I was there the family I was staying with kindly taken me to a massive museum with all sorts of cars inside from super early 1900s cars, to Lemans and Gp B rally carss, a seperate Ferrari hall and a seperate F1 hall. There was also a race circuit outside.

I would absolutly love to go back but I have absolutly no idea what the museum is called, all I know is it was in the North West of France.

Has anybody else ever been to this museum before that could possibly shed some light on its whereabouts.

Thanks

I've been there, it's near Mulhouse.

PS: Did you get a ride in the Pug 205 rollover simulator, too?

"all I know is it was in the North West of France."

Hi,
