Musée Européen de l'Aviation de Chasse — Attraction in Nyons

Impressing! For all aircraft fans it is a must visit place for sure. It is a museum with several buildings and lots of planes mostly military ones under the sky.

Starting from engines, radio, small plane models to huge military planes. Whatever you are interested in if it’s related to diving in the sky or communication technology as well as history of the Second World War as there is an exhibition dedicated to Normandie-Niemen - you will find what can be exciting for you.

There is also a restaurant which was closed on Saturday and a school where you can learn how to fly the plane or a drone. The museum is closed to Mantélimar city where you can taste the best nougat in the region or even country.

There are planes from France, the USA, the USSR / Russia, Brazil, Sweden and many others. I am admired by the historical heritage which this museum conserves for next...

The early fighters (propellor planes) actually formed tactics and designs.

There was plenty of explanation provided for every plane and it was fun to actually be able to get on the big passenger plane. The explanations for the planes out in the open do need redoing. The sun made some of them not really easy to read.

Fun activity over all, but could...

A very remarkable museum with some excellent pieces such as Mirage IV, A-4S, Crusader and a vast collection of different Mirages. Some airplanes outside are in poor condition but others are in excellent state. Some hangars are a bit crowded so it is hard to take good pictures. For example it is impossible to take good photos of Mirage IV and Crusader. Otherwise it is a museum that enthusiasts should not miss. For families it is also a very good option. Last tip for management: please don't sell fake American jet T-shirts but make a nice one of the museum as collectible. You have enough to...
