About the museum

The Château de Bosc in Domazan is a wine estate known for its wines. Simone Reynaud, who came from a family of painters, wanted it to be a place for art as well: the estate now offers two contemporary art rooms in the château and a 12,000 m² sculpture park planted with Lebanese cedars.

In the château's rooms, the motorcycle museum displays about thirty machines from the collection of Claude Reynaud, a historian and expert. The bicycle museum brings together cycles chosen for their beauty, history and rarity, including a draisine (early balance bicycle) listed as a historic monument in 2010.

The children's museum occupies six rooms in the attic and pays tribute to the fables of Jean de La Fontaine. Designed by teachers, it offers traditional games without screens that children aged 3 to 12 can touch. A treasure hunt (jeu de piste) in the park completes the visit.
