Évreux-Fauville Air Base (Base aérienne 105 Évreux or BA 105) (IATA: EVX, ICAO: LFOE) is a French Air and Space Force base located about 2 miles (3 km) east of the town of Évreux in the Eure département, on the north side of the Route nationale 13 (N13) Highway.
During the Cold War, Évreux-Fauville was a front-line base for the United States Air Forces in Europe (USAFE) as part of NATO's Allied Forces Central Europe.
In 1967, the US forces withdrew and the French air force began again using the base, initially flying the Nord Noratlas. At present, the base is home of two French tactical transport squadrons flying mostly Transall C-160 transportation planes.
