La Ferté-Alais is a small town and commune of 3,000 in the Essonne département, France. It is 52 Km south of Paris.

Its airfield (in Cerny really), hosts a world-famous air show for vintage World War I and WWII aircraft, and a museum of such aircraft.

It even has the aircraft (still airworthy) that Louis Blériot used to cross the English Channel in 1909.
