Thanks everyone!
Between us, we should manage with the English! I'll fly one aircraft, and there'll be an instructor in each of the others I think. It's still a bit daunting for to have to talk another language, though... I feel for them, 'cos I tend to make a hash of RT in French despite being reasonably fluent normally.
CBG - I fly from Villefranche, close to Lyon. Wasn't in Bernay this weekend - I was at the AFPM fly-in at the Col du Béal altisurface instead. Good fun!
