Airplane collection at Chateau de Savigny-les-Beaune.
Ponts interest in aviation goes back even further, to his military career during the 1950s.
My latest piece is a sabre an American plane I bought in Sweden.
We restored it, repainted it and make it all clean, just like new.
Pont bought the chateau and the surrounding garden in Savigny-les-Beaune in the early 1980s.
It was rebuilt by the Bouhier family in the early 17th century.
His collection of racing cars and motorbikes is entirely indoors.
Pont also collects agricultural machinery such as ploughs and tractors, as well as antiques.
These have been organized into nine separate museums on this remarkable property.
Pont gets over 35,000 visitors to his museums each year.
