I've been to Toussus le Noble, a bit south-west of Paris. It's a bit outside
of downtown, but there are not much other fields where you can go closer by.
I still believe it is not allowed to fly over Paris itself and you don't
want to land at Orly or CDG.

If a grass field is acceptable, I'd recommend St Cyr L'Ecole (sp?)
Two parallel runways approx 900metres
It's almost literaly on the end of the gardens of Versailles (West side of
Paris) and therefore quite close to the metro.
Nice friendly welcome (including a lift to the metro with the bags),
landing fee was about a fiver, for 1089kg, and no parking fees charged for
a three day stay.
Of course this was four years ago so 'your mileage may vary'

Steve,

Very interesting about this field. Just a couple of queries: Is Paris ATC
alright about it and is it PPR (by phone or R/T)
How do I find out more about it?

Thanks

Simon.

Simon, the field is very close to the Paris TMA boundry, but if the vis is
half good you can't miss Versailles. (it was horrible vis the day I went
but we saw it just in time)
When I went it was from Blackbushe so the route was via Goodwood (GWC vor)
to Deauville, for customs and then via Evreaux (EVX? vor) direct. PPR by
radio IIRC.
I found it in the Boetlang. I'll try and remember to look up the phone
number this w/end.

Cheers, Steve.

Many thanks for the information Steve, I might pop in there next week if our
planned eclipse-spotting trip to Amiens works out.

Simon.

Have you thought about using Beauvais ?  North of the Paris and has a
community of light a/c based there. The best feature has to be that Ryanair
organise coaches meeting every flight (about 5 a day) with a run into Paris
city centre in about 1hr 5 min.


I was out there last week and Reims airport has a lot of information
displayed and obviously expecting big numbers for the eclipse.
