The asphalt strip on the left edge of Runway 28 is intended for powered aircraft. Per locals, these should use it rather than the grass runway.

Expect heavy glider activity, even on weekdays. Plan arrivals from the north or west. Runway 28 is the preferred runway. Do not extend the downwind over Vinon to the east; there is a Prohibited Area very close to the south, so keep the traffic pattern tight.

Avgas 100LL available at €2.81/L.

Restaurant Le Planeur is a 5–10 minute walk. Open 7 days a week from 1100–1400 and 1800–2130. Quality not tested. Delivery service from €8.

Highlight of the field: the Bibliotheque Maguy Marcy in the club room. A shelf full of vintage aviation periodicals dating back to the 1960s, e.g., Icare – Revue de l’aviation française.

There is a coffee vending machine and water. Shaded terrace for sitting and observing.
