Pilot Comments by Paul

Welcoming airfield with varied activity (seaplane operations, flight school, aeroclubs), on-field restaurant by the runway, and hotels nearby. 100LL available self-service with Total card. Caution: surrounding military areas and local procedures (in particular the area at the end of the RWY 27 initial climb which, when active, prevents direct departures to the North...).

Very nice small airfield, very good restaurant right by the taxiway, Avgas available on request from the operator. If you need parking, it’s best to call the operator; the number is on the VAC.

The traffic pattern can be busy at times, with a mix of bizjets, light aircraft, military helicopters, and 2 flight schools on the field; AFIS on frequency for coordination. Very good ground services, runway access, 2 good restaurants at the runway end, taxi to the city railway station or to the out-of-town TGV station. Fuel available: JETA1 and 100LL, self-service or fuel truck, via Total card or CB.

Airport with scheduled commercial operations from November to March, which activates the PCZSAR and makes possession of a CIME card mandatory to access aircraft on the South Apron.

Landed on a public holiday, self-information in use. JET A-1 and 100LL available self-service, very good price. Light glider activity on the grass runway in season.
