Réau offers several distinct themes to consider when planning a trip: the Musée Aéronautique et Spatial Safran covers aircraft engines and space exploration; the Ferme d'Eprunes, Les Macarons de Réau, Église Saint-Julien and Golf de La Croix des Anges add other subjects to the mix. You can therefore explore the area through your interests in technology, architectural history, food or golf, while also taking practical visiting conditions into account.

Aircraft engines and space exploration

The Musée Aéronautique et Spatial Safran is dedicated to aircraft engines from the early days of aviation to the present. Its scope therefore ranges from early aviation propulsion to the present day. The museum also features an extensive space gallery with engines, launch vehicle models and satellite models. Two distinct themes sit side by side: aircraft engines across a long period and space technology presented through engines and models.

Admission is free for everyone during the stated opening hours; groups of ten or more may visit on other days by appointment. As visiting arrangements can change, check the stated opening hours before planning your visit, and make an appointment if your group wishes to visit outside those hours.

A look at history through architecture

The medieval roof structure over the choir of Église Saint-Julien was reinforced and restored during renovation work. This brings together two aspects of the same building feature: its medieval origins and its structural renewal. Compared with the Musée Aéronautique et Spatial Safran, the historical perspective shifts from engines and space models to a historic structure. For travelers interested in architecture, this offers a different facet of Réau's technology-related attractions.

The Ferme d'Eprunes and macaroon making

The Proffit family has run the Ferme d'Eprunes in Réau, in the Seine-et-Marne département, since 1920. The farm operates a vending machine that is open around the clock, seven days a week. It offers a wide range of products that are 100% locally produced and supplied through short supply chains. Which products are available depends on deliveries, so the selection can change even though the machine is open continuously. This distinction matters when planning: opening hours and the selection available at any given time are not the same thing.

At Les Macarons de Réau, visitors can learn how round macarons are made and discover tips and tricks for making them at home. The focus here is on the preparation process and how to recreate it in your own kitchen. Unlike the farm's vending machine, which centers on a selection of locally produced goods, Les Macarons is about learning how to make them.

Golf in Réau

The Golf de La Croix des Anges course was established in 1985. It has nine holes and a par of 31. The year, hole count and par provide different details about the course and the game. The course is open to golfers of all skill levels. Golf is therefore a distinct sporting attraction alongside the museum, architectural history and food-making themes. Operating conditions can change, so check them before your visit.
