Musée Mécanique
The Musée Mécanique is a collector's dream come true! This interactive museum with 20th century penny arcade games and over 300 mechanical machines has to be seen to be believed!
The collector, Edward Galland Zelinsky, began acquiring machines at the age of 11. Nowadays his collection has more than 300 items.
A Steam-Powered Motorcycle?
One of the treasures that you'll find in the Musée Mecanique is a steam-powered motorcycle built in the year 1912. This relic, which could be the only one of its kind in the world, and that still works, is valued at more than US$ 250.
Very Entertaining
In the museum, you'll find music machines that work by turning a handle, automatons like the well-known "Zoltar", and slot machines where all the attractions work by inserting a coin or some recreational machines from the 70s and 80s.
Admission is free, so there is no reason not to go.
