Flying to Lyon
Hi everyone,
Was hoping someone could offer some advise on a good airfield to stop at for a half way point enroute to Lyon. I am planning to go this Friday and I will need to clear customs, get some Avgas, and have some lunch. A nice GA friendly airfield with minimum fuss would be great!
Any suggestions?
Many thanks

Reims Prunay or Troyes?
Both are very nice GA airfields and have used both en route to/from Lyon and the South of France. I assume you are going into Bron - haven't been there for a couple of years but I thought it was first class

Reims - (pronounced 'krhanz') might be a good stop on the way back, just a short taxi ride to some of the bst Champage caves in Reims and Epernay, Moet De Chandon, Pouilly, Mumm etc.Last time at Reims, the Breitling L29 team were there and doing some practising, also a Gucci little Fouga Magister was out and about.Thought Troyes (pronounced 'Twa') was a bit short of character, but hey, who cares if all you need is gas!!

One vote for Prunay (has a fine resto), can't remember having been at Troyes so can't comment on that one.
Actually, the cheapest AVGAS is at LFLN, but it's so close to Lyon that it's hardly worth bothering to stop at all.

I would also recommend Troyes. If you happen to get there between 1pm and 2pm and they don't answer your call it's because they are at lunch! It is a hassle free place and friendly. Have a good time. DC
