Civil Airfield Sedan Douzy (LFSJ)

LFSJ is a quiet, well-maintained airfield near the Belgian border with very little traffic and no landing fees. The airfield is uncontrolled and uses frequency 123.5; careful listening is needed to distinguish traffic calls for this and other fields. Standard VFR procedures apply; check VAC and NOTAMs before flight. The approach is straightforward, with the apron located at the far end of the taxiway and not immediately visible from the runway.

Fuel (Avgas) is available, but requires assistance from a club member as there is no self-service payment terminal. There are two clubs on site (GA and ULM), but their opening times vary; club members are generally helpful. A small bar or café exists at the GA club, though its opening hours are irregular. A small aviation museum with early aircraft exhibits is present but may not always be open.

Accommodation options include a campsite adjacent to a lake directly across from the airfield, managed by helpful staff who can arrange food and drinks if local restaurants are closed or full. The hotel/restaurant Le Coeur d'Or in Douzy is about 600 meters from the field, while another restaurant at the lake ("Les 4 saisons") is about 400 meters away and typically open daily except Mondays. Local restaurants and hotels may be closed during holiday periods or fully booked, so advance planning is advisable.

The nearby town of Bazeilles can be reached in under 10 minutes on foot or by taxi in a few minutes; Sedan is accessible by bicycle (11 km via Bazeilles). The area offers scenic landscapes at the edge of the Ardennes, with opportunities to visit Sedan castle and enjoy lakeside activities when open. No customs or immigration services are mentioned.

Example: landing fee about €0.
