Operationally, a very pleasant aerodrome. IFR procedures available. AFIS Wednesday through Sunday; outside those times FR-only (French only on the frequency). Friendly AFISOs. No restaurant on the field. Landing fees very reasonable; parking a bit pricey (EDEIS, after all). There is a bakery/café about 500 m on foot from the field ("Baguettes et Delices"). Public transport to the city is not ideal. I had expected a bit more from the city of Chalon.

Well-maintained airfield nicely located in Burgundy. Easygoing tower controller, short-mown grass parking plus a small asphalt apron. LDG is a normal €16; PKG a steep €40/24h, billed per hour (4h included with LDG). Intense parachute jumping operations with a PC6, but takeoffs and landings around the canopies are relaxed. Taxi to town €35 for about 8 km; Uber is half that, but rarely available. Avgas by credit card at €2.77/L. Gourmet tip: the town has a wide selection of excellent restaurants along a small lane on the Ile St Laurent in the Saone!

Chalon Champforgeuil (LFLH) offers both asphalt and grass parking, with a small asphalt apron and short grass tie-downs. The airfield is well maintained and features AFIS with good English. Self-service Avgas is available by credit card, though some cards may face high pre-authorization limits; assistance and alternative payment options are available in the office. No camping is allowed due to security fencing.

Landing fees are typically about €20, while parking is charged at about €40 per 24 hours, calculated hourly with four hours included in the landing fee. Example: landing fee about €20; parking about €40 per 24 hours. Fuel payment by credit card is possible at the pump, but Total Card is not accepted.

The airfield experiences intensive skydiving activity, especially on weekends, with a PC-6 operating for parachute drops. Standard French overhead joins are not recommended; instead, join downwind directly west of the field to avoid parachutists. Remain vigilant for skydiving operations and for the Pilatus Porter using the grass runway from all directions.

Facilities include a small bistro or café in the tower building offering coffee and snacks; frozen meals may be available. The staff are described as friendly and helpful. There is no on-field restaurant, but Chalon offers a wide selection of restaurants, particularly on Ile St Laurent.

Ground transport options include taxis to Chalon at about €40 for 8 km; Uber may be cheaper but is rarely available. A bus stop (Mairie de Champforgeuil) is located about 2 km from the airport with service into the city for €1.20; walking into town is possible but not recommended.

Chalon’s city center is pedestrian-friendly and attractive, especially around Ile St Laurent. Procedures vary; see AIP/NOTAM.
