On the occasion of the 125th anniversary of the birth of aviator Auguste Maïcon, born in Villefranche in 1891, the commune is paying tribute to this great pilot, a pioneer in aviation. The son of a grocer, he was on familiar terms with both the sky and the greats of this world. Photos, videos, personal items, and a panoramic survey of the con­quest of the air bring the saga of his career back to life. Until October 16th. Citadelle, Chapelle Saint-Elme, Villefranche-sur-mer (04 93 76 33 27).
