Dominicppg Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 I'd like to do some flying in France in the next few months. I'll be based about 30 minutes east of Paris. I know a lot of French airspace is open to PPGs up to FL195 but am concerned about the restricted airspace around Paris. Any members or visitors know of any clubs or PPG pilots in the area that I could meet up with, have a chat with and perhaps fly with? Would be a great help. Thanks.

christian Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Hi The following link is for the French ultra light association, of which paramotoring is a part. On the site is a section listing every ULM (ultralight) field in the country with contact details etc. http://www.ffplum.com/ Good luck, Christian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominicppg Posted November 11, 2012 Author Share Posted November 11, 2012 Thanks Christian. I originally tried to contact two (nearby) ULM clubs via the website you mention, but the first said that I couldn't fly with them and the second just didn't reply. I suspect they were strictly light aircraft and microlight clubs. I know a few in the UK that are the same. I checked out Alan's list (thanks Alan) but these are all 2-3 hours away (most are around Reims. Perhaps I should been more specific and mentioned that I'll be in Meaux, just 30 minutes east of Paris. I have tracked down a PPG club about 40 minutes away and have e-mailed them. I'll keep looking and will post if I find a friendly (welcoming) club in the area. Dominic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christian Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Dominic It might be worth posting messages on one or both of these forums Probably the most frequented French forum http://www.forumparamoteur.fr/index.php A newer splinter forum http://www.forum-paramotoristes.fr There's also a magasine called Paramoteur+ which has listings in the back of various schools.
