Air France, a history of elegance on display in Toulouse

From February 12, 2025, and for the next two years, L'Envol des Pionniers, the renowned cultural center in Toulouse dedicated to the history of French aviation, is hosting a new and fascinating exhibition entirely dedicated to Air France. This exhibition offers a unique opportunity to explore the history of the airline, from its beginnings in 1933 to the present day, retracing the steps that have made Air France one of the most elegant and innovative companies in the world.

 

 

The exhibition offers an immersive experience that spans over 90 years of history and innovation.

More than 170 original objects tell how Air France has been able to create a unique, elegant and distinctive travel experience over time, taking care of every detail to give its passengers a French-style journey, famous all over the world.

The city has been the airline's base of operations for almost 70 years, and Air France's historical heritage is displayed in its historic buildings, which have hosted some of the most significant moments of its long career.

The exhibition itinerary develops in a fixed layout that guides visitors through the different eras, showing the evolution of the company and how it has revolutionized the flight experience, always with a strong commitment to elegance, culture and innovation.
