They definitely don't "reveal all the secrets of the A380" (as if), but it is interesting and the facility is staggeringly large (second largest by volume and sixth by floor area in the world).
- kilroy123 6y agoDamn I was there last summer. I wish I knew about this! But I did at least go to the museum and got to see a Concord up close. That was cool.
- hadrien01 6y agoI visited the Saint-Nazaire factory two years ago. It's absolutely amazing how you go by dozens of A320, and just at the end of the tour we went by the massive A380. The difference in size at ground level is stunning.
- doctor_eval 6y agoI did the organised tour many years ago, just before the A380 was in commercial service. But the best part was walking around and then through the Concorde on display there. That thing is amazing. Beautiful. And the wing area is insane.
