Musée de l'Aviation de Lyon-Corbas
About This Museum
Tucked away near Lyon's airport, this place is a true hidden gem for anyone who feels that pull of the sky. It’s less a sterile gallery and more a sprawling, passionate hangar where history feels immediate and tangible. You walk right up to legendary warbirds like the Dassault Mirage III and can almost hear the roar of their engines. The sheer scale of being dwarfed by an Alouette helicopter or tracing the lines of a Fouga Magister is what makes it unforgettable. It leaves you with a powerful sense of wonder for the machines and the daring souls who flew them.
Collection Highlights
Get up close to a sleek Dassault Mirage III fighter jet, see the distinctive silhouette of the Fouga Magister trainer, and stand beneath the rotor blades of an Alouette helicopter.
