Air and Space Museum

Today was Dave’s day. We took the tram and bus to l’Aeroport Bourget, home to the Musee Air +Espace. He was in his element.

First up was the 747 on the tarmac. Up at the front doors, and through. Also on the tarmac were a water bomber, numerous fighter jets, an A380 and rockets.

Next we went into the Concorde building, where we could walk through the prototype plane and the final production plane. Dave enjoyed pointing out the changes made between the models and all the test instrumentation.

Lunch was up next, and more fine dining than utilitarian. A casserole with sausage and potatoes, tomato and burrata salad, honeydew with prosciutto, and ample crumble.

After lunch Dave began haunting the halls while Jen found numerous places to chill, her favourites being a bean bag chair in the library, and business class seats in a mock airplane designed to watch aircraft documentaries.

Some of Dave’s other favourites included the Hall of Prototypes, the Space Hall, and the Pioneers of Aviation exhibit.

Just after the “warning, we close soon” announcement we headed back to the city. We returned to last night’s restaurant for good vibes, good food, and good prices. Boulanger, groceries, showers, blog & bed.
