Le Manège

Le Manège is the Motorcar Museum of the Fondation Burkhardt-Felder, located in the park of the historic Château d'Ivernois in Môtiers, Val-de-Travers, in the Canton of Neuchâtel, Switzerland. Housed in a former riding hall built in 1856 and renovated between 2003 and 2006, it presents over twenty exceptional motorcars illustrating the history of the automobile from 1897 to 1980. The collection includes rare and exclusive models such as a Jeanperrin 1897, a Crane Simplex, Rolls Royce, Bugatti, Lamborghini and Ferrari, as well as a cut-out car chassis demonstrating the mechanics of a car. The museum is open by appointment only with a guided visit from mid-May to mid-November.
