AviaSim Paris Bercy: Boeing 737-800 Flight Simulator in the 12th Arrondissement

Flight Simulator Paris — Boeing 737-800 at AviaSim Paris Bercy

AviaSim is France’s number one flight simulator network, with 15 centres across the country and over 80,000 pilots welcomed since 2012. The Paris Bercy centre — located inside the Hôtel Pullman Paris Bercy in the 12th arrondissement, opposite the Bibliothèque François Mitterrand — is equipped with a latest-generation Boeing 737-800 simulator, a 1:1 scale replica of the real aircraft cockpit, open to all ages from approximately 10 years with no prior experience required.

The Boeing 737 is the world’s best-selling commercial aircraft, and millions of passengers have flown on it without ever imagining what the pilots experience at the front. At AviaSim Paris Bercy, that question gets a direct and immersive answer — from the cockpit itself, guided throughout by a professional flight instructor.

The Boeing 737-800 Simulator

The simulator at Paris Bercy is a full 1:1 scale Boeing 737-800 cockpit with its own instruments, systems, and flight logic — a distinctly different experience from the Airbus A320 sidestick cockpit offered at other Paris AviaSim centres. The 180° photorealistic visual system displays detailed terrain and airport scenery across more than 24,000 airports worldwide, and the cockpit features authentic sound reproduction throughout. The simulator is fixed-base — a deliberate design choice by AviaSim to keep the experience accessible and comfortable for all participants, including those prone to motion sickness.

Your instructor is an experienced professional pilot who accompanies you from briefing through to landing, explaining every phase of flight in real time and adapting entirely to your level. Up to three guests can join you in the rear seats of the cockpit at no extra charge — making this an outstanding shared experience for couples, families, and groups of friends.

Session Options

Three packages are available at Paris Bercy:

Découverte Avion de Ligne is the most popular package — 45 minutes at the controls of the Boeing 737, from takeoff to landing, for €109. The classic AviaSim experience, ideal for first-timers and gift recipients.

Forfait Duo puts two pilots in the cockpit together for a 60-minute shared experience at €169. Fly as a crew — captain and first officer — dividing responsibilities for radio calls, navigation monitoring, and control. Perfect for couples, friends, or parent-child sessions.

Forfait Évasion is the extended experience at 80 minutes for €199, covering every phase of flight from start to finish with time for advanced manoeuvres and multiple approaches.

All packages include a digital boarding pass sent by email, valid for 12 months, with no date, name, or price printed — ideal for gifting. Participants choose their own slot online at their convenience, with no commitment required at the time of purchase.

Fear of Flying Programme

AviaSim Paris Bercy offers a dedicated Stage Peur en Avion — a 6-hour individual programme at the controls of the Boeing 737-800 simulator, guided by an experienced flight instructor who explains in real time what every sensation, sound, and movement of the aircraft means from the pilot’s perspective. The programme has a 97% success rate over more than 10 years of operation and is bookable by phone or via the website contact form.
