1964
On August 8, 1964, Count François Gazeau and Mr. Marc Den Bosch created a light airfield for pleasure and business on the strip of land stretching between the then Nationale and the river.
During that first year, the track was made up of grass on land that the owner of the Château de La Mole, Baron Charles Boyer de Fonscolombe, agreed to lease to them in memory of Saint-Exupéry, of whom he was a close cousin.

On March 15, 1973, the airfield was classified as “restricted use” because of its special features.
1983
On May 30, 1983, the airfield was registered on list 3 of French airfields, in category D: intended for business, private and national travel aviation.
