Does anyone know the name of the GA airfield (in Versailles I believe) next to the RN12 dual carriageway into west Paris? I was recently staying with relatives in the area who did not know the name of it. I am not an experienced pilot but the approaches into the airfield over the dual carriageway looked very low and dangerous. I am talking about 50 or 60 feet over the dual carriageway. What about high sided vehicles? Dangerous or what!

CL, the field you mention is definately St Cyr. I spent 18 months living not too far from there. Had some friends visit from the UK in a PA-28. They got free landing+parking! Nice field and very busy at weeknds. Runway is about 800m grass if I recall with the RN running close to the western end. Very convenient for visiting Paris or Versailles.

Thanks to everyone and particularly Small Pilot for confirming it is St Cyr L'Ecole! 
Perhaps when I have built up some more time this year I will pay my relatives a visit and fly down to Versailles and do some nice low approaches over the RN12!!
Safe flying all.
