Our regular contributor to the Gallery Pages is our French, but UK resident, member, Michel Gosset. Michel and wife Helen came across Chateau Savigny les Baune quite by chance during one of their numerous tours of France. Built in 1340 for the Duke of Eudes and was demolished in 1478 , restored early 17th century by the Bouhier family, and became property of the Migieu family in 1689. In 1979, the chateau was bought by Michel Pont, a winemaker who operated a major 20-hectare winery vineyard. As a former 1960s Abarth rally ace, he opened an Arbath collection and subsequently several other areas with important collections. Chateau Collections include: Arbarth cars- including 35 racing cars and 600 scale models; Aeronautics - more than hundred fighter jets, military planes, jet aircraft, helicopters and hovercraft; Viticulture - agricultural equipment, wine presses and straddle tractors; Motorcycles - over 300 veteran/vintage bikes and 1200 models; Firefighting - twenty fire engines and appliances.
