In general thanks for the suggestions, but...

The + meaning above the level of the chart, well I used Jepps VFR Chart and at a glance there is airspace noted at FL195, somewhat above the ceiling of my a/c so I could not go above this corridor from Dijon, with the implications for SE safety at low level.

French VFR rules I'm familiar with, wrote 4000' in haste, was actually FL 35 having checked my plan. Sorry.

Extra time on flt planning, well when I trained on the sqn (also some years ago) I was only allowed 1hr to plan a 4 ship multi package strike, so anything over that I regard as a luxury.

An 800 ASFC + corridor is still just that, I can read a chart, and that doesn't help anyone get accross it- why can't French Military restrict their flying to defined areas which could be avoided, or certain altitudes which would allow GA a/c to cross at a sensible height? ie. not below 800'.
