Tour the museum with a guide
Our museum, the only one of its kind in Europe, is located on the shores of Lake Biscarrosse and Parentis, on the site of the golden age of seaplanes.
During your guided tour, which takes about 90 minutes, our guide will narrate the history of seaplanes around the world, from pioneering models to the most recent machines. As you walk along, you can admire archival documents, personal keepsakes, spare parts, and genuine, fully renovated seaplanes.
Our team is committed to preserving this heritage, along with the production techniques inherent to the industry.
