Visitors will discover a very wide overview of the equipment: vehicles, weapons, clothing, posters, equipment of the soldier...

It goes from the cap to the soldier’s scull, through belt buckles, badges, radio stations, knives, to cigarette packages....
The public is broad, veterans of course, family members as well, for families looking for history or perhaps to find out what a close or distant relative has gone through. But also history buffs, tourists curious to discover the territories bruised by these conflicts and then the schoolchildren whose textbooks evoke these difficult times.
Wars are serious subjects, but they must not be hidden. During the guided tours, it is a very informative journey through time that is proposed, pleasant and playful visits are provided by passionate guides and who evoke history by object, image and sound in order to question the living conditions of soldiers, the impact of the propaganda, the functioning of the armament and their usefulness on the battlefield. A real transmission job.

About the location

The site itself is already symbolic since the Vincey Museum is part of the red brick buildings of the Boussac mills, a former flagship of the textile industry, located at the gates of the Battle of the Trouée de Charmes in August 1914\. It is also a strong symbol, since it presents in particular the souvenirs and uniforms of General de Castelnau, winner of this battle and nicknamed the savior of Nancy, for having stopped the Germans at the entrance of the city of the Dukes of Lorraine.
Today the museum exhibits and presents nearly a hundred models in situation, cannons, functioning vehicles, a trench reconstruction and thousands of objects and souvenirs of the wars of the twentieth century. In fact, during the time of the visit, whether it is free or commented, it is a real return to the past, in immersion in military history that is proposed.
Indeed, on more than 1500 m2 and on two levels, the museum constitutes a veritable retrospective, rich and varied of the most important wars of
