SMCS

The best aviation museum I've ever been to. A huge number of exhibits, including experimental aircraft, Concordes, helicopters, a space museum, and, of course, the magnificent Su-22M3 (German). A huge thank you to the museum staff for the incredible emotions I experienced during my visit. It was really, really cool.

Amazing experience for plane lovers, just being able to enter the Concorde is already worth the visit. Some of the planes are not open to visit but it's still a very enjoyable time. Very well worth the entrance fee.

We visited the museum for the Cercle Festival on the last of its three days.✌️ The grounds were transformed into a massive stage, with performances taking place beneath an A380, a Concorde, and directly in front of an authentic Ariane rocket. Amazing, very cool experience! If you're not against large crowds, I'd suggest arriving closer to sunset, when the bigger-name artists are performing and the light show really comes alive.

The concord alone is worth the visit. Such an extraordinary machine. The satellite section and the 747 are also very interesting. It's a pity that more airplanes on the tarmac aren't open to the public.

Le Bourget, the first airport of the city of Paris opened in 1914 during the first world war for military purpose later used for commercial purpose until Orly and Roissy airports were commissioned. Still used for business and domestic purposes. The Air and Space museum situated inside the same is worth a visit for all those who are interested in airplanes, space and flight! The huge building houses remnants of our long lost history in aviation. From balloons, gliders, air/sea planes to space conquer, when people thought of flight, the dangers, the accidents and the wars, to the advancements in avionics, the development in avionics during the world wars 1 and 2, the instruments used then and now - you can find it all. (You know wrist watch is very much associated with avionics!) You can find the French connection in the aviation field from the times of Balloons. You can visit an actual air traffic control tower, an Airbus A380, the Boeing 747, the mighty Concord (not one but two from British and French airlines), civil and military airplanes, the mirage, rescue helicopters and lots more. Things to note - there is no particular way or path to follow you can go in any way possible and revisit back which is kind of confusing but at the same time useful (there's a restaurant inside so if you feel taking a break you can go have coffee or food and resume back) lots of WCs inside and lots of seating (well needed, yes you are going to feel tired). Advice - take a Guide map from the entrance which is super useful! You can spend a whole day here. (even if you rush it take half a day) Take tickets online there's no time slots, take ticket and visit at any time on the day. Well worth the visit! You can reach by metro and bus from city center or if you coming by car lots of parking available in front.

For every aviation enthusiast this is a must. Great number of aircraft, helicopters, rockets, biplanes, history and future of air and space. If you want to see all, minimum 4 hours is needed. Enough toilets, ramps for disabled here and there, but it's mostly ground floor. Also, it's a unique chance to enter into two Concorde airplanes, prototype and real thing. The souvenir shop is quite rich, various pricing, for all pockets. Beware, the shop is exit point, so when you enter shop, exit is end of tour.

This museum location is pretty far away from the paris city center. It took about an hour and 15 minutes to arrive by train then bus. There is no AC on trains and busses and usually there is relief in museums. However the museum did not have AC . The main area is wide open and has planes hanging with articles of information doen below. The front desk is right when you walk in, and the staff was friendly. There are indoor and outdoor exhibits . This museum was a fairly short one. If you sit and watch the movies 🎬 it makes it slightly longer. It took about an hour of time. The concord aircraft was outside . This museum was hosting school children so it may be a popular location locally for student field trips. Be aware when leaving , the bus stop 🚏 is in the sun with no seats. I would think that a major museum stop would get a better bus stop. Also, directions told me to get off 1 or 2 stops early , but my friends phone had the correct bus stop. If you get off early , you cannot cut through because there is a fence the entire way. Picture attached of the front of the building.

Wide variety of air and space craft mostly French as expected. It took me 3 hours to rush through everything, but I have been to 100 or so Air Museums. I would rank this in the top 20. The best thing about this one is that it covers the whole history of man Flight history.
