Came back from Ile d'Oleron this afternoon - La Rochelle were open, so were Nantes, and Rennes (with a very cheerful English chappie on the FIS frequency). Dinard was very 'ferme' - argghh! Its where I wanted fuel. Instead went to a very nice St Brieuc and launced off from there. Mind, you, I didn't try filing airways or IFR (as much due the the notherly wind and the desire to stay low and out of it)
