Civil Airfield Semur En Auxois (LFGQ)

LFGQ (Semur-en-Auxois) is a picturesque, unmanned airfield with a hard runway (reported as 780 m or 600 m) in good condition, though grass at the edge of the narrow asphalt taxiway can be high and may require slow taxiing for low-wing aircraft. Operations are self-announce on a shared frequency (123.5), with English and French both possible. There are no landing or parking fees.

The airfield is about 15–20 minutes on foot from the medieval town center, with the route involving some hills but generally described as scenic and manageable. The town offers a range of hotels and restaurants, including recommended options such as La Rumeur and Aux Vieux Pavés; advance booking is suggested for popular venues. The Hotel de la Côte d'Or offers free pick-up from the airfield for guests. Camping beside aircraft is possible, but there are no dedicated facilities beyond grass; water and toilets may be available if locals are present.

Avgas is available only with assistance from local pilots or the aeroclub, as there is no self-service terminal; availability varies and cash payment may be required. Mogas can sometimes be sourced via canister from a nearby station with help from locals. No other services or staff are typically present on site.

The area features attractive walking routes around the old town and along the river, with tourist information available at Place Gaveau (+33 3 80 97 05 96) and online at http://terres-auxois.fr/accueil-en/. A lake with restaurants, campsite, and sailing club lies about 3 km from the field. Procedures vary; see AIP/NOTAM. LFGQ is well suited for non-commercial general aviation pilots seeking an easy stopover or short stay in a historic setting.
