Le Touquet Air Show 2026 — A Spectacular Day on the Seafront
On 27 September 2026
On Sunday 27 September 2026, Le Touquet's seafront hosts its 5th consecutive airshow: 50 aircraft, including the Red Arrows and Patrouille de France, all free to watch. Hippotel is just a short stroll from the action — ideal for a Channel-crossing weekend break.
Fifty aircraft, one unforgettable Sunday afternoon
For the fifth year running, the skies above Le Touquet-Paris-Plage fill with the roar of engines and the colour of smoke trails. On Sunday 27 September 2026, from 1:30 pm to 5:00 pm, the Le Touquet Air Show returns to the seafront promenade with a line-up of 50 aircraft drawn from French, British and Belgian military forces as well as civilian aerobatic teams. Admission is free — and the backdrop of the Channel could not be more cinematic.
Highlights of the 2026 line-up
The programme brings together some of the most iconic aircraft and display teams in Europe:
- Red Arrows (RAF, UK) — always a crowd-pleaser, and a particular thrill right on the Channel coast
- Patrouille de France Alphajets — the signature display of the French Air and Space Force
- Airbus A400M tactical display — a rarely seen giant performing manoeuvres that defy its size
- Black Cats helicopter display team (Royal Navy, UK)
- NH90 SAR (Belgian Air Force) and the EC145 D3 (French Gendarmerie)
- Historic warbirds: P-51D Mustang (UK), Fouga Magister, North American T-6 Texans
- Aerobatic teams: Team Raven (Vans RV8, UK), PITTS team (Belgium), Piper Patrouille des Oursons (6 aircraft)
- Phénix paratroopers of the French Air and Space Force
Make the most of it from Hippotel
Hippotel sits just minutes on foot from the seafront display zone — no car, no parking headache, just step out of the hotel and walk to the action. Our rooms and apartments are a comfortable base for a full weekend: arrive Saturday, explore the town, then enjoy the show on Sunday without any rush.
For UK guests, the trip is remarkably easy: the Channel Tunnel puts Calais under 90 minutes from London, and Le Touquet is a further 40-minute drive south. Start Sunday right with our breakfast formula, then check out Le Touquet's activities — golf, sand yachting and tennis are all on the doorstep.
Groups and corporate teams looking to combine the airshow with a team day can contact our groups and events team for a tailored package.
