I’m planning on flying to France next week to visit family and friends in various locations.
Can anyone experienced in French touring recommend a practical source of aviation weather information while in France please?
I will have iPhone with me, but would prefer to leave the laptop at home.
Thanks.

Bob Hi!
Try Aeroweather for your iPhone. http://www.aeroweather.ch/ It will give METAR and TAF for named Airports or ICAO Codes and is very quick to update with whatever communication channels the iPhone can find or use. I also have Memory Map CAA Maps loaded as standby. You may find you can get French Air Charts too.
Regards

Try http://france.meteofrance.com/
The language if French, but the pictures speak for themselves.
You can toggle the main display between temperatures and winds ("vents").
The menu column is for the days of the week (just learn the names of the
days in French and you are good to go).
They also have an aeronautical section, but you need a password for
that. They will send you that free of charge if you ask for it.
We found this website very valuable for our trips in France.

Bob, A lot of the middle sized airfields as well as all the large ones have
their own French Meteo man there who is generally extremely helpful. That
apart Ifind the various resource/links at
www.guernseyaeroclub.com/weather.htm to be more than enough. In particular
xc weather, orbifly,Met Office 415, European Tafs & Metars provide most of
what you need on the day and either the USAF, the XC or the NOAA 7day
forecasts are good for planning ahead. One other resource not on the
Guernsey site possibly worth looking at is Jeppesen's one:
www.jeppesen.com/aviation/personal/aviation-weather.jsp In particular I
like the weather depiction page which gives a Europe wide indication of VFR
or various IFR conditions.
Have you by the way found the Europa Club Guide to Flying in Europe
on the Club web site - it has all of the above & a fair bit more.
Regards, David Joyce, G-XSDJ

I personally use Aeroweb (the official Meteo-France aviation weather service), but as mentioned above you need an access code.
Another great source is from Orbifly, and it is very handy (displays a synthetic view of the weather situation).
They have an Iphone compatible version, and to my knowledge the access is free.

Happy Touring!
