Dormeuse – around 1805 – Carriage Museum, Vaux-le-Vicomte

An orange and black travelling carriage with a long body and a luggage trunk on the roof stands on large orange wheels. This dormeuse, a carriage in which travellers could lie down for long journeys, was built around 1805 for General Le Grand de Mercey (1755-1828) and is lent by his descendants.
