Red lights flashing near Paris
 

Flew into CDG tonight landing towards the west at about 22.05. We were turning onto final about seven or eight miles out (I'm not an expert on these things) and I saw what looked like a huge array of red lights flashing to the south of us, possibly three miles from us. It was clearly visible from the plane. I have tried to identify where they are and what they are but no joy. Anyone have any idea?

Could it have been Euro Disney?

Much more than 3 miles to the South of the centre line for the Southern runways but it is hard to judge distance at night.

I do not operate into CDG any more but seem to recall we would be turned onto finals at about 12 to 14 miles.

Possibly obstruction lights on a wind farm?

Could it have been Euro Disney? - CV

Disney Dreams! | Disneyland Paris Entertainment given that the timing may not fit precisely at this time of year.

Thanks. I thought it might be EuroDisney but think it is too close to the airport to match the place I saw the lights. I'll keep looking.....

If only red lights, possibly a bunch of high masts?

Flashing red lights
 

Just to the west of Melun, near Boisise le Bertrand is a large military (?) site which has many aerials, red lights at night. Maybe that is what you saw....

Possibly the right configuration but I think too far south and west... I also think Disney is too far West and possibly a bit north but it's hard to tell from a plane at night.

Could it be this.......Coulommiers – Voisins Aerodrome?
