Stopped here for fuel because we couldnt get fuel at Carcassonne.
Classic small french airfield with hard runway open on week-ends and when club members are around, french only on the radio.
We phoned the club before departure and got a message box. So as we flew overhead on the way to Carcassone we looked for signs of activity and heard one aeroplane in the circuit and saw hangars open so decided to land. FI and a couple of club members in the standard french aeroclub style clubhouse sold us some fuel for cash or a french cheque.
Fuel was 2.35 Euros/Ltr.
Landing fee = What landing fee, this is France!!
Friendly people/club & Gustave (dog) friendly too!!
