In the 700m2 of the General Store, the tour route retraces the history of the Montaudran site, the beginnings of aviation with the fabulous epic of Lignes Latécoère and L’Aéropostale.

The exhibition is divided into four major themes:

At every turn in each sequence you will be plunged into the daily lives of the pioneers through accounts, personal objects, reconstructions and fun experiences.

You will find:

The scenography draws on the visitor‘s senses through interactive, audiovisual and multimedia facilities, games and operations.
