More cars and lorries from the Clos Roussely collection

Citroen tractor avant

The father of Vincent Roussely (Clos Roussely, AC Touraine) has amassed a remarkable collection of vintage lorries and cars. He acquired many of them during the 60s and 70s for very little cost at a time when the local farmers were happy for him to take them off their hands. Some were exchanged for a few bottles of wine. As part of Vincent's work on the Clos Roussely in Angé some of them will be exhibited.
