LA GARE D’ALBERT
Read moreIt might seem strange as a tourist site where you arrive in the small town of Albert, if you were not told why. And when you know why you will see this curiosity that is Albert Station! City-birthplace of the aircraft, Albert is almost entirely dedicated to it. All or almost everything in Albert is under the sign of aviation. And its station is the most striking example of this: of Flemish architecture, the station lobby has a very curious, imposing and surprising decoration: Le 36 (in tribute to aeronautics and its albertine pioneer, Henry Potez)! Yes, a plane that you will see exposed there, suspended, sitting with all his majesty on his metal pedestal that supports him, nose in the air, as a nose of the wind, pretending wanting to take his flight in the middle of the station!
