Musée des Enfants de Troupe

Set up inside the Autun Military High School, the museum of old military training schools and schools for children of soldiers lies within the former seminary chapel and crypt. An important part of the city's architectural heritage, including a sizeable number of elements listed in the supplementary inventory of France's landmark monuments. The museum is devoted to the children of soldiers serving in France and France's foreign territories. Many artefacts and vestiges trace the lives of alumni, and the destinies of some tell a fascinating tale. The emblems of these now-defunct schools have been conserved here.
