Troyes is highly reccommended. Good ATC, excellent restaurant , Avgas and UL91 on serve youself with credit card set up. Grass or hard runways. Beware, like many French A/Fs it closes at lunchtime. It is where I clear customs for all my French trips, more or less. Worth trying to get there by 12MD (11.00 British time) & sample the restaurant. The city itself is very interesting and worth a stopover.

I don't know what routes people are planning to take, but I'm considering the following. Comments / advice appreciated: Membury UK to Troyes Barberey via Goodwood, Amiens and DEVIM to clear immigration. Troyes - Grenoble Follow the valley south of Grenoble past Corps, Saint Bonnet en Champsaur, Gap Hospital and into Gap Tallard. I could route via Valence, but that would be at the expense of some amazing scenery.

I prefer to arrive at French airports during (the 2 hour) lunch 'hour'; I can then blind-call in French and not be caught out by an unusual ATC request!

Hi David and all,
Feeling compelled to jump in.
Would you care to elaborate about the above statement ?
As a French pilot, I am not aware of any French airfield closing to VFR during daytime.
Or maybe you were just talking about ATC or AFIS published hours or IFR arrivals, though that never prevents incoming or departing VFR traffic ?
To sum it up, French airfields are accessible to VFR at any time between SR-30 min and SS+30min.
One notice, though : at Troyes at no-AFIS hours, you must use French only on the radio, like on most French airfields.

Gilles, Yes perhaps I did give the wrong ompression. I should have said that the Tower is closed over lunchtime. This is generally a bit daunting for us foreigners. We can mostly make approximate position calls in French but few of us are sufficiently fluent to cope if we get an answer in French and to work out whether someone is telling us to go away or just chatting or whatever, and may have doubts as to whether that airfield will let you land without ATC, especially if it is your customs airfield, so my recommendation is to get there whilst ATC is working and enjoy a lunch! David

Hello to all,
I would like to comment about French airfields with ATC services regarding radio transmissions in English.
While I would agree that 10 years ago the level of English was poor, however they have made a massive step forwards and I find all the controllers clear and competent in English.
Why would you want to arrive when the tower is closed and use your French when you can use English when it's open?
Regards,
John
