The vid says these are forgotten, i don't believe that for a second but they don't seem very well protected. There must be millions of pounds worth in there. Couldn't quite believe the old Group B 205's and 405's just lying there all covered in dust!!!
I wonder what the real story is.

Looks like the storage for the Peugeot museum. Yes, the Peugeot Museum is over the road from the massive PSA factory complex in Sochaux. I wouldn't mind betting there is a building on the site that is used as the museum reserve store (also check out the bloke in the jacket with the briefcase - not your usual urbex attire!). |

Gotta be some thing to do with a museum, I noticed the car from the original taxi movies is stored there which is on display here That picture was taken inside the museum at Sochaux (Musée de l'aventure Peugeot). There is also a more recent addition - a 407 'Taxi', built for Taxi 4, part of a display of Peugeot taxis:    I found some info in a French forum - they change sections of the exhibits fairly regularly (every couple of months) so they would need a decent-sized reserve store nearby (though the exhibition space was also extended by 35 spaces last year after that video was uploaded). They also sometimes offer passenger rides in some of the exhibits on a course around the car park - here are the RC and 607 concepts having a 'race' during the concept car-themed exhibition in September:  Here's one I've never seen before - the Pininfarina 104 Peugette:  In mid-October apparently they had an event where 12 of the design deparment staff where in there giving talks, drawing sketches, demonstrating CAD-CAM and the modelling process and so on. It sounds like somewhere well worth a visit. Here's a link to the forum thread (via Google Translate): translate.google.co.uk/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&js=n&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&layout=2&eotf=1&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.forum-peugeot.com%2FForum%2Fforum-peugeot%2FL-univers-Peugeot%2FDivers-6%2Faventure-peugeot-sochaux-sujet_15784_1.htm&act=url |
