Flying in Northern France / Germany

[TangoZulu]

I am thinking of a trip through Northern France to a small airfield in Germany later this summer and have been looking at possible routes.

Am slightly puzzled that most of Northern France - quite a lot of France in fact seems to be covered by low level restricted areas - if I have understood the chart correctly.

does anyone know what these are - are they permanently active - and if not how does one get the equivalent of a DAAIS or similar to find out what they are up to?

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks

P.S Does anyone know whether you can get transits through the Ramstein airbase control zone as it id directly on my route?
