L’Envol des Pionniers: a legendary heritage

Dedicated to the early days of aviation, to the establishment of the Latécoère Company, then the Aéropostale, up to the birth of Air France, L’Envol des Pionniers is located at Toulouse-Montaudran, on the historic site from where the first planes took off, carrying mail for Africa and South America.

This legendary site, the cradle of the impossible project of the pioneers of La Ligne, brings to life the human adventure which contributed to the birth of civil aviation, making Toulouse the world aviation capital.

An original programme for European Heritage Days
