EVERY SATURDAY FROM 6 JULY TO 31 AUGUST
L’ENVOL DES PIONNIERS WILL BE OPEN AT NIGHT!
Until 10pm
One hundred years after Pierre Georges Latécoère’s first flight, rediscover the fabulous epic of the Aéropostale in its historical buildings! ‘La Ligne’ was an extraordinary challenge that rallied hundreds of men and women around Mermoz, Guillaumet or Saint-Exupéry in an incredible adventure. What adventure? – you may ask. Nothing less than crossing a desert, an ocean and the second highest mountain in the world, pushing the planes and the men beyond their limits.
Mail had to be transported and so the men had to excel themselves!
It is there, on the site of L’Envol des Pionniers itself, that the great love story between Toulouse and aviation began!
With music to accompany you throughout these summer nights: discover the evening music programme!
Saturday 6 and 20 July
