Beynes Thiverval Airport

Established in 1930, the Beynes Thiverval Airport became a hub for glider enthusiasts. The Club Aéronautique Universitaire (CAU) first landed here in 1931, with others following suit. Beynes Thiverval Airport quickly transformed into a testing ground for innovative glider designs. Hangars were erected in 1936 when it became one of four regional gliding centers. During World War II, limited activity continued at Beynes Thiverval Airport. Then, the occupying forces requisitioned the facilities and gliders. The hangars still bear scars from this period. Activity at Beynes Thiverval Airport resumed in 1945. Gliding continued, and even aircraft construction took place when Auguste Mudry established his workshops there. Today, the Centre Aéronautique de Beynes (CAB), the closest gliding club to Paris, operates Beynes Thiverval Airport. It boasts a 1,000-meter long, 80-meter wide grass runway oriented east-west (12/30). Beynes Thiverval Airport is uncontrolled.
