Does anyone know of a website that lists forthcoming fly-ins at French airfields? (Similar to the events listings in Flyer magazine, etc.)

Thanks

You'll find quite a few on Dave Wise's Royal Aero Club listings:

Dont know of a specific website, and would like to know if someone does, but here are a couple I know of :

Cote d’Armour Fly-in, La Boule Escoublac on 14th & 15th June.

Belves – Fly-in 15th – 17th August.

Also, this year Sunday 29th June has been designated as ‘Le jour plus long’ by the FNA (no idea why it isnt the 21st, which just happens to be a Saturday, it was the Saturday last year!!), this will be the busiest GA flying day in France as it is the day when French flying clubs compete to try to keep their aircraft flying all day long. So anyone flying in France on the 29th will need to be extra vigilant. One good thing is that alot of clubs will make an event of the day, for example our club usually holds a big BBQ Spit Roast etc, and everyone turns up for a bit of a party!!!

If you are a French speaker/reader, you should take a look at

http://www.pilotlist.org

This is a very active mailing list aimed at French pilots. Of more relevance to the question though, this group of friends are often holding Fly-ins which they call Rascolls. Follow the links on the front page of their site for a full diary of events.
