About
L'Envol des pionniers is a French aerospace museum that chronicles the adventure of Aéropostale and honors the aeronautical heritage of Toulouse. Located in the Montaudran district, it opened on December 22, 2018—almost 100 years after the inaugural civil flight to Barcelona. In particular, it allows visitors to discover the equipment used by pilots such as Jean Mermoz, Henri Guillaumet, and Antoine de Saint-Exupéry during the epic journeys of the Aéropostale and Latécoère air routes. The museum is situated directly across from the Rangueil scientific complex, home to ENAC (Europe's largest aeronautical university) and SUPAERO (the world's oldest aeronautical university).
