Flying in France is like flying in a graveyard, compared to much of the UK. It's also completely within the most basic PPL privileges."
Now come I0 do you really mean that?
I do actually mean that. I've flown there VFR a number of times, right across France. For notams you can use ais.org.uk - it's only the domestic (non international airport) airfield notams that don't come up on there, and one wouldn't be flying to any of those from the UK.
For weather, it's all the same sources (like the notams, on the internet, and that's probably the problem).
