FÊTE DE L'AIR DE LENS-BENIFONTAINE

Located in Bénifontaine, in the heart of the Communauté d'Agglomération de Lens-Liévin, the Lens airfield has been hosting the Fête de l'Air since 2007. Last year, over 60,000 people attended this free event. The theme of the 2015 Fête de l'Air is Franco-English friendship and the commemoration of the centenary of the Battle of Loos-en-Gohelle, with the presence of numerous French and English aircraft. The Lens airfield is one of the most beautiful aerial sites in northern France. It is home to two flying clubs, a regional parachuting school and numerous aeronautical associations.
