The museum
Created by aviation volunteers in a town closely associated with helicopter manufacturing, this municipal museum juxtaposes rotary-wing aircraft, French military jets, firefighting aircraft and unusual experimental designs. The presence of both fixed-wing and helicopter exhibits shows the breadth of France’s regional aerospace industry.

The presence of both fixed-wing and helicopter exhibits shows the breadth of France’s regional aerospace industry.
The collection emphasizes french helicopter design, aerial firefighting and postwar military aviation. The museum separately reports 15 aeroplanes and 18 helicopters. Its aircraft list also mentions a CL-215 cockpit section and hang gliders, so the aircraft listings below are a documented selection rather than a claim that all items are complete airframes.
Entries below are source-backed selections, not necessarily the complete collection. A museum may have an aircraft on loan, under restoration, stored away from public areas, or temporarily absent for a flying event. Where display status is unknown, it is not a promise that the aircraft can be seen on a visit. Check current admission arrangements and specific aircraft access with the institution before traveling.
