Seaplanes: Exhibitions and international events in Biscarrosse

Seaplanes have always been synonymous with new stories to tell and new accounts to relate. The Musée de l’Hydraviation in Biscarrosse, on the site of the old Latécoère base, gives you the chance to discover the various facets of seaplanes, which you may know as “air liners” or because of the Canadair model.

 

Exhibitions, workshops and meetings will take you on a journey to the land of these legendary aircraft.

 

A new temporary exhibition every other year

Our temporary exhibition, which changes every two years, always highlights some of the unique aspects of the history of seaplanes: the saga of aircraft transported in pieces from Toulouse to Biscarrosse, seaplanes during the interwar period, the exploration of remote regions using seaplanes, and the list goes on.
