A charabanc or char-a-banc is a type of horse-drawn vehicle or early motor coach, usually open-topped, common in Britain during the early part of the 20th century. It was especially popular for sight-seeing or works outings to the country or the seaside, organised by businesses once a year. The name derives from the French char a bancs (carriage with wooden benches), the vehicle having originated in France in the early 19th century.
