Le Bourget

Le Bourget is a municipality in Seine-Saint-Denis that forms part of the Grand Paris metropolitan area. The town is home to a major air and space museum and an international airport that hosts significant aviation events.

The settlement began as a small farming village before transforming into an industrial center during the late 1800s. The airport grounds later became central to French aviation industry and international flying history.

The Air and Space Museum displays aircraft, rockets, and spacecraft that tell the story of French and international aviation. Visitors can walk among these machines and see how flying technology has changed over time.

The area is easy to reach by public transport, and the airport provides clear signage throughout. The museum has entrances at different locations, so it helps to know which sections interest you before arriving.

The museum holds a supersonic aircraft that expanded the boundaries of flying technology in its time. This particular plane stands out as one of the most striking exhibits and shows how advanced French aviation engineering had become.
