The construction of the air harbor dates back to 1922, when the first successful seaplane flight was carried out 30 km from the city, on Lake Ethan de Berr. Unfortunately, World War II completely destroyed that building. However, now the airport complex has been built taking into account all modern requirements and consists of two terminals where duty-free trade areas, bank branches, a first-aid post, rental car rental desks and representative offices of travel agencies, as well as a conference room await passengers. You can start your gastronomic journey immediately after arriving at the airport by tasting the local cuisine in one of the many cafes and restaurants.

It is better to familiarize yourself with the bus schedule in advance on the airport website in order to correctly calculate the time. Buses arriving in the city mostly stop at Saint-Charles station, where you can take a taxi or another bus, as well as a train to another city in France.
