Flying abroad

Get a copy of the French "Delage Guide".Gives you most of the info you will ever need to visit what is still a light aircraft friendly country.
Just ensure you have the "paperwork" for the aircraft (including a VAT status doc).
Its then just down to munching your way around the various fields that have the best "Cafes".
Wherever you go the euro will be against you but as someone said the CI make a good hop for fuel and facilities.
Lydd still offers d/free fuel for outgoing flights,but you need to check the avgas price for the country of choice.
Remember at the smaller French fields the radio is for ordering your food!!!
