One point to bear in mind, is that the French authorities, require Brits to make the first landing in France, after arriving from the UK, either at a "Customs Airfield" such as Le Touquet, or if going to a smaller airfield, then customs has to be booked in advance (some require 24 hours notice).
You can, of course, land at Le Touquet to clear customs, & then fly on to a smaller field. This is usually easier than trying to pre book customs, especially at weekends.
We may all be Europeans, but some are more European than others. It is apparently due to the UK not signing the Schnegan (spelling?) agreement, that we still have to carry passports & clear customs, in France.
