SCT,
Just found that hotel on helipaddy and there's every chance that's where I'll stay. Thanks.
RVDT - got the helisurfaces permit a few years back, but thanks for the reminder.
Thanks to everyone that's replied so far. I'm just working my way through all the airspace on the Eastern edge of France. Most of it looks like its restricted from 800ft but If I'm correct it's activated by NOTAM. I plan to refer to the AZBA charts on the French SIA website. Can anyone confirm that?
