Army Light Aviation (A.L.A.T) and Helicopter Museum Museums in Dax

The ALAT and Helicopter Museum, located in Dax in the Landes region, is a must-see for aeronautics and military history enthusiasts. It is entirely dedicated to the Army Light Aviation (ALAT) and traces its evolution since its beginnings.

The museum houses an impressive collection of helicopters from all generations, some of which are genuine collector's items that have been carefully restored. You can admire iconic aircraft such as the Alouette II, the Puma, and even rare prototypes.

In addition to aircraft, the museum also exhibits a wide variety of equipment, uniforms, models, and archival documents that provide insight into the crucial role of the ALAT in conflicts and operations, as well as the technologies developed over time. Thematic exhibitions and guided tours enhance the experience.
