S.D
I plan a long flight that will take me to Southern France Italy and beyond. I will fly VFR and would like to be at FL 80 or higher if weather permits. From the map I see that half of France is restricted area. Can you advise where I can find information about activity, NOTAMS, etc? Also, how one deals with all of these restricted areas? Do you ask a permission to cross each one of them?
I have flown at the past down to La Rochelle and had no problems but it was over a weekend.
Thanks.
