The world's oldest aeronautical museum, located on the site of Paris-Le Bourget airport, just a few minutes from Paris
Founded in 1919, it is the oldest aeronautical museum in the world and one of the most prestigious. Established on the site of Le Bourget airport since 1975, its collections have been enriched over the years, and now encompass the entire history of French and international aeronautics. From the lavishly renovated historic terminal to the tarmac, the many aircraft on display here include the first flying machines from the late 19th century, space capsules, military aircraft, helicopters... Among the emblematic pieces, the Concorde holds a special place: the first commercial supersonic still drawing crowds. Other giants include the Boeing 747, open to visitors, and the A380, which naturally found its place here. Regular exhibitions are also organized. And to help younger visitors make the most of the museum's facilities in a fun way, the museum has set up an edutainment area, "Planète Pilote", dedicated to 6-12 year-olds. By putting yourself in the shoes of a pilot or astronaut, your little ones will gain a better understanding of the various physical mechanisms of flight and propulsion. Finally, the planetarium invites you to travel among the stars: from the comfort of your seat, discover the fabulous mysteries of our universe. The site also hosts a number of events, including the Salon International de l'Aéronautique et de l'Espace in June every two years, and Ciné Tarmac in the summer!

J'ai jamais vu un musée aussi prenant.
J'ai passé une demi journée et je n'ai pas tout vu !
Il y a des choses intéressantes, comme la visite des Concorde, certaines mises en scènes, et les visites guidées. Mais ce musée manque cruellement d'interactivité, et peut ennuyer les plus jeunes ou ceux qui n'aiment pas trop les musées. Il peut paraître également austère.
J'étais heureux d'y aller gratuitement pour cet évènement, et j'aurai été déçu d'avoir payé les prix habituels, un peu chers pour ce que le musée propose. De plus, le parking est payant.
A part l'extraordinaire visite des 2 Concordes exposés + la très belle scénographie du hall spatial ... Le reste du musée est plus que vieillissant ... Quelle tristesse !!!
La palme de la médiocrité revient au planétarium ... à fuir !!!
J'ajoute que ce musée est catastrophique d'accès, et finalement très cher ...
Un gros effort de mise en scene s'impose !!!
Une visite incontournables pour les enfants.
Les avions ça marche à tous les coups!
A éviter aux alentours du salon de l'aviation car moins de modèles exposés
