I’ve just published a full walk-through of the Musée de l’Air et de l’Espace at Paris–Le Bourget, widely regarded as one of the most important aviation museums in the world.
The video covers the complete story of flight, starting with Les Pionniers de l’Air, moving through iconic World War II aircraft, experimental and prototype designs that never entered service, and finishing with the impressive Space Hall, which explores humanity’s push beyond Earth.
On the commercial aviation side, the museum features everything from Concorde to widebody heavyweights like the Boeing 747 and Airbus A380, showing how air travel evolved from ambition to global infrastructure. One of the standout moments is stepping inside Concorde F-BTSD, an exceptionally well-preserved example of one of the most ambitious civil aircraft ever built.
Outside, historic Ariane rockets give an immediate sense of scale and context before heading into the space exhibition, which covers launch vehicles, satellites, and early space exploration in a clear, accessible way.
If you’re interested in aviation history, aircraft design, or simply how flight has shaped the modern world, this museum is well worth a visit — and I hope the walkthrough gives a useful sense of what to expect.
Practical Info:
Location: Aéroport de Paris–Le Bourget, 93352 Le Bourget, France
Entry: €17 (approx. £15 / $20)
Happy to answer any questions about the museum, exhibits, or logistics for anyone planning a visit.
