Le Bourget (French pronunciation: [lə buʁˈʒɛ] ) is a commune in the northeastern suburbs of Paris, France. It is located 10.6 km (6+9⁄16 mi) from the center of Paris.
The commune features Le Bourget Airport, which in turn hosts the Musée de l'Air et de l'Espace (Air and Space Museum).[3] A very small part of Le Bourget Airport lies on the territory of the commune of Le Bourget, which nonetheless gave its name to the airport. Most of the airport lies on the territory of the communes of Dugny, Bonneuil-en-France, and Gonesse.[citation needed] The Bureau d'Enquêtes et d'Analyses pour la Sécurité de l'Aviation Civile is also headquartered on the airport grounds and in Le Bourget proper.[4]
