As is the case every year in Toulon, the Patrouille de France’s fleet of Alpha Jets is set to take part in the traditional air show on August 15.
It’s a must-see event of the summer season, attended by tens of thousands of Toulon residents every year! The show takes place right in the middle of Toulon Harbor, one of the most beautiful in France and the birthplace of the French Navy and its current flagship, the aircraft carrier “Charles-de-Gaulle.”
Gathered on Mourillon Beach, spectators—often coming with family or friends—can admire the feats of the Patrouille de France: its aerobatic maneuvers and flights reaching speeds of up to 700 km/h, all performed by handpicked pilots from the French Air and Space Force!
This year, to witness this demonstration by the blue-white-red-painted Alpha Jets, spectators will first have to wait while enjoying the displays by the Rafale Solo Display and the Dauphin helicopters of Flotilla 35F. And all of this will take place before the traditional fireworks display organized by the city of Toulon, featuring the illumination of Fort Saint-Louis (or Fort des Vignettes), the city’s iconic structure built in 1534.
Toulon Air Show. Saturday, August 15, 2026, starting at 4:00 p.m. Mourillon Beach, 83000 Toulon.
