Soulac

Was there last summer with my RV, stayed in town and hired a bike for a couple of days. There is some parachuting on the field with a Pilatus, but all quite relaxed. On the headland it can get windy, and there's only one runway... and the military roar up and down the coast, so check the restricted areas over the sea. Nice place for a visit: a genteel seaside resort, and a very friendly welcome. They let me use the almost empty hangar for a couple of quid a night, and the aeroclub was extremely helpful with met and flight planning.
