The Europa Club 'Tour de France' will take place between Friday 2 June and 9

June. (or it could be a day later start if anyone still working joins and

needs to avoid breaking into another working week!)

      This will involve a fairly gentle meander round France stopping at

places selected  to offer good food & wine and touristic interest. Last

years itinerary was:

              Troyes

              Le Puy

              Carcassonne

              Arcachon

              Angers (2 nights with a wine trip along the Loire in between!)

              Belle Isle.

      This year's route will be set once those joining the trip have given

me their requests or suggestions. Each day's flying is deliberately limited

to something in the 2 to 3 hr range, to allow time to look around the area

or lie about in the sun and hopefully to encourage wives to join. The trip

is ideal for anyone wanting an introduction to foreign touring as French

airspace is as benign and safe as it comes. There is also as much help as

anyone wants in dealing with flight plans, customs and other aspects of

foreign flying.

      Anyone interested please contact me by email or phone 01454 260542

                           Regards, David Joyce

I have had problems with my broadband which now seem to be sorted. These

caused  me to fail to receive several messages which I know were sent to me.

It may be that some were expressing interest in the Tour de France. Can I

ask anyone who did email me who has not had a reply to copy the email

originally sent, please?

David,

We won't be able to join you on the tour this year as we are in South 

America and will be here until November. Hope that the tour goes without any 

snags and that you all have good weather throughout the trip. Safe 

flying....or is the term Blue skies?!

Regards,

Dari and Gail

I wish I could join you David, but I am still waiting for my permit and

dont have the skills to fly the aircraft (yet!) maybe next year. Have a

great trip.

 The Tour de France will be from 3rd to10th June, and the outline itinerary

 is: Amiens, Colmar Beaune, Grenoble/Albertville, Nimes, Libourne, Blois.

 There is room for late joiners

 Regards, David Joyce



   

David,
	




It occured to me that you may want to check the Albertville aerodrome 

chart at



http://www.sia.aviation-civile.gouv.fr/html/frameset_aip_fr.htm



As its use is restricted to aircraft based on nearby aerodromes, there 

may be some paperwork to deal with.



For what it's worth,

Regards,

Gilles, Many thanks, helpful as always. Careless of me to miss that in the

Bottlang! Perhaps we may arrange to meet up somewhere? We are a relatively

small party this year- 5 planes. Regards, David

David,
	




You're welcome.

The airplane I build with a buddy is based at Vienne (LFHH), a little 

south from Lyon. Small grass field (2000 ft runway), 100 LL gas, no 

landing fees. Not much hangar room, though.



Do not hesitate to publish your detailed itinerary on the list.

Hi David



Looks like a super itinerary.



The only slight issue is that for the option of  La Fert Alais, LFFQ. 

(Which I last flew into, wow was really 10 years ago!) I had to have 

permission in writing beforehand from the museum specifying all the usual 

details and that I had an obligation to speak in French. Which I fortunately 

did. (I knew that French "A" level would come in handy one day).



The airfield would generally refuse casual access to all but home based 

aircraft.



..........and yes hotels locally are impossible. The time when I flew in 10 

years ago there was a rustic cheap hotel in the village, that has now gone. 

The only things nearby now are the impersonnel Formule 1 type.



Giles do you see this as a realistic option for a group of Europas?



Regards



Bob

Bob and all,
	




The Amicale Jean-Baptiste Salis Association is in charge of the 

airfield. I finally got them on the phone. Very friendly.

The gentleman said "why not", but needs precise details. Here is why : 

they are preparing their airshow of 3rd and 4th June (lots and lots of 

warbirds). The airfield will be closed the week before (NOTAM).

You can apply for an arrival after 4th June.

He gave a FAX number : +33-1-645 77655



Hope this helps,

Regards,

Gilles Thesee
