South of France (an airport for a convenient stop)

I paid 30 early September. In my case, taxied to pump, refuelled, waited for instructor (for st tropes qualification) and left.

But previously about same cost and staying about a day

Interesting… Cannes

Does Nimes have customs? If it’s a nice scenic place would stay for a couple of nights.

+1 for Avignon …either for a quick stop, night in the airport hotel or a night in the city.

I’ve used it a couple of times in the last month. Fees for a PA32 approx 35 euro for landing and a nights parking. Easy refuling. Friendly staff with good English and efficient. It can be windy in Avignon!

They can arrange customs / immigration I just emailed them [email protected] or call +33 4 90 81 51 51 31. Although it says handling they don’t charge handling for light GA.

There is a hotel literally 50m from the airport. Ive stayed there on a stopover it’s basic but clean and has a pool and restaurant.

The city is well worth a visit. It’s a 10-15min taxi. They have Uber in Avignon.

Avignon was 24H PN for customs. I had to do a “shimmy” last time I stayed there. See my previuos trip report.

Avignon is great … you just need to plan for the crazy winds there (the “Mistral” can easily be above 30kts).

Not really a problem as they are always straight down the runway.
