To discover, see and do...

The Bagotville Air Defence Museum is the only military aviation museum in Quebec. Opened in 1997, it presents exhibitions recounting the country’s air defence history. A park adjacent to the museum displays various aircraft of importance in our military history as well as an MIG-23 from the Czech Republic, a collector’s item and the only one of its kind in Canada. Take a ride on the tour bus and visit the facilities of the 3rd Squadron, the only fighter airbase in Eastern Canada.
