The first landing site in France for UFOs, it was inaugurated on August 15, 1976, during the third Oyster Festival. It was set up to facilitate the landing and stay of these unusual travelers. Located at 44°46° North and 1°8° West, it was the first of its kind in the world, while in 2002, Brazil acquired the same type of equipment.
On September 4, 2010, the event “Allo Arès, Ici Ovni” (Hello Arès, This is UFO) was celebrated to mark 100 years of aviation. On this occasion, a flying saucer (inspired by Jules Verne), created by an artist from Baurech, was inaugurated. Damaged by time, the flying saucer was removed and replaced by a flying saucer inspired by “soupe aux choux” on June 18, 2016.
Many events are organized there, including conferences on UFOs, exhibitions related to astronomy, and even comedy festivals celebrating the world of science fiction.
