La Ferté-Alais (French pronunciation: [la fɛʁte alɛ] ) is a commune in the Essonne department in Île-de-France in northern France. It is 52 km (32 mi) south of Paris. It used to be a fortress closing the access to the French royal estate from the Essonne valley, then became an industrial village with sand and stones. Its airfield (actually in Cerny), 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.
