There's more than just memorabilia inside the Musée National du Sport. Their huge collection of trophies, equipment, posters and more showcase how humans have risen to physical challenges – some dating back as far as the 16th century – visitors will find reels of classic moments of triumph and even paintings. Look out for bicycles that existed long before the yellow jersey was skin-tight, a classic Formula 1 car, and the sailboard of the first man to cross the Atlantic Ocean.
