Inside Museum Building
The French Armoured Corps and Cavalry School is located in the town of Saumur, which is about 46km south-east of Angers, on the south bank of the River Loire. In 1965 an Armoured Vehicle Documentation Centre (Centre de Documentation des Engins Blindés, C.D.E.B.) was created in the School, to be responsible for collecting, restoring and preserving prototype and production armoured vehicles. This was achieved largely through the work of one man, the late Colonel Aubry. The many armoured vehicles that have since been collected by the AVDC have for many years been on display as the Saumur Armour Museum; Colonel Aubry was its first director. Most of these vehicles were housed in three main buildings; the General Patton Hall, the General Estienne Hall and the Rommel Hall (the Rommel Hall was closed to the general public). These buildings were military hangars on loan from the Armoured Corps and Cavalry School, but provision had been made for the construction of special museum buildings in plans for the modernisation of the School. Some years ago, therefore, a new building was acquired on the outskirts of Saumur, just outside the School, and this is now used to display about forty of the vehicles in the collection. It was opened on 30 May 1987 and features a video room, a souvenir and book shop and various rooms exhibiting armaments, optics, transmissions, and dioramas. This building is named Bossut Hall and is now the only one open to the public, the others are closed to members of the public unless permission is granted to study a particular vehicle.

It came from the Etablissement d’Etudes et de Fabrications d’Armement de Bourges (EFAB) (Bourges Armament Study and Manufacturing Establishment). When it was moved it was missing its howitzer armament, which had been replaced by a steel plate. In 1983, however, one was provided by EFAB. This howitzer had been on exhibition there and may well have originated in this tank.

This Mark 5 was given to the Armour Museum by the Canadian Army. It was presented by General Michaud, the Canadian Military Attaché in Paris, during an official ceremony on 21 March 1983. In commemoration of the sacrifice of Canadian soldiers for the liberation of France it was named “Trun, 18 August 1944” by the Museum. On that date this small Normandie village saw very hard fighting between the 4th Canadian Armoured Division and the 7th German Army encircled in the Falaise pocket.
This tank served with the Canadian Army in Europe and Canada before retiring from service. It was transported from Canada courtesy of the ‘Deutcher Logisticer Bevollmächtigter in Frankreich’, the German logistic organisation based at Fontainebleau and concerned with the transit to France of German Army supplies. The Centurion was carried as far as the French military port of La Rochelle on board a boat loaded with Leopard 1s of the Bundeswehr returning from a Canadian training camp. It is unusual in retaining a Type A gun barrel, that is one without a fume extractor.

This reworked M4A2 was donated by the Bourges Technical Establishment (Etablissement Technique de Bourges, ETBS.). It belonged to the 2ème Division Blindée. It is hoped to return it to running order, in which case it would be the only tank of a French Armoured Division of the Second World War to be running again. It was used after the war as a test-bed for various modernisations, including the installation of a new mantlet and a 75mm CN 75-50 gun. This was part of the development of the M50 Super Sherman which was supplied to Israel and based on the M4A4 T.

This M7 was recovered from the sea bed off the Normandie beaches where it had lain since D-Day, 6 June 1944. It was recovered from a sunken LCT, along with two others, by M. Jacques Lemonchois. One of the others has gone into the Musée Des Épaves Sous-Marines Du Débarquement at Commes (q.v.), and the other has gone to the 68th Artillery Regiment at Valbonne. This one arrived at the Museum in November 1986. It is in a rusted and barnacled condition but is largely complete.

This vehicle dates from 1939 and was an experimental adaptation of a Char B1-bis. It was converted by the French Engineers for destroying mines. It had its turret removed, and three sets of solid heavy disc rollers with lifting gear were fitted in front of it to be pushed along the ground to detonate mines. The vehicle never went into series production and this is the only surviving example of the type. It was acquired from the Army Engineer Museum at Avrillé (q.v.)
