Around 1,600 pieces dating from the French Revolution to 1990 can be discovered in the Arsenal of Eure-et-Loir. At the heart of the museum sits a superb Laffly truck from 1923, used by the Brou firefighters.

One of them was offered by Napoleon III to the small village of Châtelliers-Notre-Dame, near Illiers-Combray. After several postponements, the museum officially opens on April 27 and is open every Saturday from April to the end of October.
