Embark on an exclusive immersion into the heart of the Hyères BAN!
Usually closed to the public, the Naval Air Station (NAS) in Hyères opens its doors to you for a unique experience. Come and discover what goes on behind the scenes at this strategic French Navy base, and meet the people who work every day between sea and sky.
Times: Visits take place from 1:00 pm to 5:15 pm.
Your program: Close to the action
During this guided tour, you'll discover the diversity of professions and missions that make the heart of the base beat faster:
Safety with the marine firefighters: discover their emergency vehicles and their daily routine of operational preparation. A unique opportunity to see how these specialists ensure flight safety and the protection of all crews, day in, day out.
Falconry, an unusual mission: Meet our falconer and his birds of prey. Discover how this ancestral method is still the best way to ensure runway safety in the face of animal hazards.
Innovation at CEPA/10S: Dive into the future of naval aeronautics. The Centre d'Expérimentations Pratiques et de réception de l'Aéronautique navale opens its doors to present the tests and technologies of tomorrow.
Meet a flotilla: Each month, a different unit (31F, 32F, 35F or 36F) welcomes you. Get up close to our helicopters (Caiman Marine, H160 Marine, Panther or Dauphin) and talk to the crews about their operational missions.
Journey back in time to traditional space: End your tour with a historical immersion. Between collector's items and heroic tales, discover the secrets of the "sky sailors" who have marked a century of history since 1925.
