Located on the historic site of the former Latécoère base, the Musée de l'Hydraviation de Biscarrosse is the only museum of its kind in Europe, retracing the history of the giants of the air, from the first flight in 1910 to modern aircraft. As you explore the 1,250 m² of exhibition space, you'll follow in the footsteps of legendary aviators such as Mermoz, Guillaumet and Saint-Exupéry. From rooms displaying objects of all kinds to hangars housing rare aircraft such as the Grumman Albatross, each space transports you back in time to the history of world aeronautics.
To enhance your visit, the F-BISCA aeronautical store and a free game booklet for children aged 3 to 12 are available at reception.
