Musée Delta Athis Paray Aviation
About This Museum
Tucked away near Orly Airport, this place is a total hidden gem for anyone who's ever looked up at a plane and wondered how it works. It's not your typical, stuffy museum—it feels more like an enthusiast's giant hangar, packed with weird and wonderful flying machines you won't see anywhere else. The star of the show is the incredible collection of delta-wing and other unusual experimental aircraft, many of which were built by passionate amateurs right here in France. You can get up close to these quirky creations and really appreciate the sheer ingenuity on display.
Collection Highlights
The main draw is the fleet of home-built delta-wing aircraft, including several one-of-a-kind prototypes. There's also a fascinating array of gliders and light aircraft that show the evolution of personal flight.
Visitor Information
It's run by volunteers, so definitely check their website for opening hours before you go—it's not always open daily. The vibe is super friendly and informal; the folks there are true lovers of aviation and love to share stories.
Architecture & Building
It's housed in a no-frills, functional hangar that feels perfectly authentic, almost like you've stumbled into a secret workshop for airplane tinkerers.
