Saumur
The AFV ASSOCIATION was formed in 1964 to support the thoughts and research of all those interested in Armored Fighting Vehicles and related topics, such as AFV drawings. The emphasis has always been on sharing information and communicating with other members of similar interests; e.g. German armor, Japanese AFVs, or whatever.

Not bad. From that list I also identified the gun I posted earlier in this thread!
basart.artillerie.asso...rticle=461

if you plan to visit this French Artillery museum at Draguignan, make sure it is open when you will visit it. I was there once in the 1990s, and when I wanted to visited it again, it was closed the day I went there. Such a shame..
I had to take pictures of the AFVs from the outside..

The museum is located on an army base, so it is not open as often as a normal museum.

the 8.8cm gun is completely dismounted and is being cosmetically restored.

Thanks. Please let us know whenever you get some up to date info on the restoration.

- the_shadock The museum is located on an army base, so it is not open as often as a normal museum. I had the same problem, and this was compounded by the fact that I am a foreigner, so they would not let me in. On the other hand, I went to visit the Char B1 mine roller which was on an auxiliary army base and they let me in with no further questions. . .

I realized just now that the 8.8 cm Flak was visible when you visited the Museum. I missed it both in 2001 and 2010. I remember at some point I saw its info board, but the gun was missing.

At which date you were there?
I wonder if P-O knows something more, maybe they are restoring/repainting the gun.

At least the space left empty by the 8.8 cm Flak allows to take better pictures of the Konigtiger Massimo
