Hi folks

I am planning a VFR jaunt down to Burgundy in the next few weeks. However, there is the small matter of the horrendous Paris airspace in between me and the desired destination. Obviously I could give it a wide birth and add 20mins to the flight - but that would be admitting defeat.

I am pouring over the maps and trying to determine a good route from the NW to the SE. If anyone has made that trip and could recommend a route/offer advice. Would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

It is absolutely no problem at all, just stay below class A airspace sectors and contact Seine Info for the transit. if you have a transponder, you can even ask a clearance to cross Evreux TMA , of fly above it (5000 ft) and descend again to 3000 when clear of it.
It is not that difficult.
