Retromachines Feast is a French event for classic plant and machinery held in August in the Loire valley in France. The event started from a small private collection of machines that grew from a few friends gathering with there machines to 'play' into an annual international event. Retromachines is the name of the not for profit organisation (charity) set up to look after the collection of machines that is funded by the annual feast event. The collection has some very rare machines, most of which are in full working order.
