Arrived early March 2026, and no wild boar on the runway this time to cause a diversion, unlike last autumn.

A large but quiet airport that is very GA friendly, making an excellent first stop when arriving from the UK (24 hour PPR for customs & immigration). Everybody is super friendly and helpful. Other than the price of fuel, no other airport fees.

Stayed at the recommended Relais Saint-Jacques hotel, less than 10 min. walk from the airfield. Large modern comfortable rooms and nice restaurant on site.

Great friendly airport with a 11500' runway and no landing fees if you are below 2t... Staff ultra friendly, perfect for a quick stop for immigration and fuel crossing france from the UK for instance as it's right in the middle! Also easily accessible quite nice restaurant and hotel 5min walk across the road.

No landing fees apply for aircraft under 2,000 kg MTOW. Customs and immigration are available with PPR, typically requiring a few hours’ notice; in some cases, 24 hours may be needed. Self-service fuel is available, with quick turnaround and payment by card or cash. Staff are described as friendly and efficient. The terminal is small with minimal facilities—vending machines, coffee machine, and toilets—but a well-regarded restaurant (L’Escale) is about 5–15 minutes on foot and open extended hours; hotels and other restaurants are also within a 10-minute walk. FISO speaks English and is easy to follow. Preferred runway use is to/from the North for noise abatement, though runway 03 may be used depending on wind. The airport has a long runway, little commercial traffic, and is suitable for quick fuel or customs stops when crossing France. Gendarmerie may check documents on arrival. Procedures vary; see AIP/NOTAM.
