COMPA - Agricultural Museum, Chartres

Le COMPA is France's first museum dedicated entirely to agriculture, housed in a striking 1905 steam locomotive roundhouse near Chartres station. The collection spans agricultural history from 1800 to 1960, with over 8,000 items including 130 tractors, 200 plows and harvesting machines, and the centerpiece TractoBrick — a full-size tractor replica built from 800,000 LEGO bricks that holds a Guinness World Record. Visitors can explore 3,000 square meters of exhibition space covering the evolution of farming tools, rural life, and contemporary agricultural practices.
